Patch Cable Digitus CAT 6A class Ea F/FTP 5m Black

The DIGITUS Patch Cable CAT 6A Class Ea F/FTP, 5 m, black, is a slim, shielded network cable designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gbit/s and tested to 500 MHz. Manufactured to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 CAT 6A standards, the cable features RJ-45 connectors, high-quality copper conductors and an LSZH jacket. The F/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference, making this cable suitable for data centers, high-density installations and home offices.

Advantages

The slim and flexible design allows effortless routing in confined spaces while maintaining CAT 6A performance. Shielding (F/FTP) improves resistance to external interference. Each end has a molded anti-kink sleeve with strain relief and locking lever protection to prevent plug damage and cable kinking. The cable complies with ISO & EN channel specifications and has been tested for parameters such as near-end crosstalk (NEXT) up to 500 MHz.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms
• High-density cabling installations
• Home offices and professional workstations
• Environments requiring PoE+ power delivery

How to use

Route the patch cable between network ports (switch, patch panel, NIC) using the slim jacket to pass through tight spaces and cable management channels. Insert RJ-45 plugs fully until the locking lever engages. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors and use the molded anti-kink sleeve to reduce stress at termination points. The cable supports PoE+ when used with compatible devices and power sources.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable length within recommended distances for Ethernet standards, avoid running it parallel and close to high-voltage power cables, and ensure connectors are undamaged before installation.
