Patch Cord Digitus CAT 6 S/FTP DK-1644-0025/B

DIGITUS Category 6 Class E patch cord with LSZH sheath provides high-end performance for structured networks. The cable is PoE+ ready, uses copper conductors and features a transparent red connector with metal shielding for simple identification of Category 6 (250 MHz). The assembly meets ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 requirements to ensure channel compliance and tested performance up to 250 MHz, including near-end crosstalk (NEXT). Each cable is equipped with a molded boot offering kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector to prevent connector clip breakage.

Advantages

LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emission in case of fire and improves safety in confined spaces. Transparent red plug with metal shielding enables quick visual identification of Category 6 patch cords. Tested conformity to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 ensures reliable channel performance and compatibility. Molded boot with kink protection and latch guard increases connector durability and reduces installation issues. PoE+ readiness supports power delivery over Ethernet for compatible devices.

Key specifications

• Category: 6 (Class E), channel performance up to 250 MHz
• Conductor material: Copper (Cu)
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Connector: Transparent red plug with metal shielding
• Standards: Manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6
• Features: PoE+ ready, molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and latch protector

How to use

Connect the patch cord between compatible network ports such as switches, patch panels and network devices to establish Cat6 links. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and the molded boot sits flush to prevent strain. Route the cable without sharp bends to preserve performance; the molded boot provides additional kink protection. For PoE+ applications confirm that both the connected device and switch support required power specifications.

Recomendations

For reliable network performance, use DIGITUS Category 6 patch cords within installations that follow ISO/EN channel design rules and avoid excessive bending or mechanical stress. Choose LSZH cabling in enclosed or public buildings where low smoke and halogen-free materials are preferred.
