Patch cord Digitus CAT 6 S/FTP DK-1644-0025/G 0.25m Green

The Digitus CAT 6 S/FTP patch cord DK-1644-0025/G is a 0.25 m network cable designed for short connections in structured cabling and equipment patching. It complies with Category 6 (Class E) specifications and is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 standards. The cable uses S/FTP shielding, copper conductors and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, and comes in a green LSZH sheath for reduced smoke and halogen-free behaviour during a fire. This compact patch lead supports performance up to 250 MHz and is PoE+ ready for powering compatible devices over Ethernet.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, supporting stable high-speed data transmission in dense or electrically noisy environments. The molded boots include kink protection and strain relief, and an integrated latch protector reduces the risk of connector tab breakage during repeated use. LSZH outer jacket minimises smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. The product is manufactured to recognised industry standards, with performance tested for parameters such as NEXT up to 250 MHz.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, patch panels and network devices in racks and data cabinets
• PoE+ devices such as access points, IP phones and cameras where a short, shielded connection is needed
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling improves link reliability

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.25 m
• Cable category: Cat 6 (Class E), performance tested up to 250 MHz
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Conductor material: Copper
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends with metal-shielded transparent plug
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• PoE capability: PoE+ ready
• Boot: Molded with kink protection, strain relief and latch protection
• Color: Green

How to use

Use this 0.25 m patch cord to connect ports within a rack, between a patch panel and a switch, or from a switch to a nearby network device. Align the RJ-45 plug with the device socket and insert until the latch clicks into place; the molded boot protects the connector during handling. To remove, press the latch protector and pull the connector straight out to avoid stressing the cable. Ensure both connected devices support the required link speed and PoE if power delivery is needed.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable, maintain separation from strong power cables where possible, and use shielded connectors and properly grounded patch panels when deploying S/FTP cabling to preserve the shielding effectiveness.
