Networking Cable Grey 2 m Cat6a S/FTP DIGITUS EXC 857720

The DIGITUS EXC 2 m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is designed for high-speed data transmission in home and office networks. The grey, 2‑metre cable meets Cat6a performance criteria and uses S/FTP (shielded foil around each pair with an overall braided shield) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over short runs. Both ends are terminated with standard RJ‑45 connectors for compatibility with switches, routers, network cards and patch panels.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference, improving reliability in environments with dense cabling or nearby electrical equipment. Cat6a specification supports higher frequencies and greater bandwidth than Cat5e or Cat6, enabling stable 10 Gigabit Ethernet over typical short distances. The factory‑terminated RJ‑45 plugs provide consistent contact and simple plug‑and‑play installation.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network port of a switch, router or network device and the other plug to the corresponding device or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running parallel and close to power cables to minimize interference. For rack or patch panel installations, use appropriate cable management to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short to medium horizontal runs where higher bandwidth and reduced interference are required. Avoid excessive bending radius and mechanical stress; keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines to preserve signal quality.
