Patch Cord Digitus CAT 6 S/FTP DK-1644-005/R 0.5m Red

The DIGITUS Patch Cord CAT 6 S/FTP DK-1644-005/R is a 0.5 m red patch cable designed for structured networks. It combines Category 6 performance up to 250 MHz with S/FTP shielding and a copper conductor to provide reliable data transmission and compatibility with ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 channel specifications. The transparent red RJ‑45 plug with metal shielding enables quick visual identification of Category 6 cabling.

Advantages

The cable uses LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath to reduce smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire. S/FTP shielding and copper conductors offer improved protection against electromagnetic interference and support PoE+ applications. Molded boots include kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector to prevent damage to the latching tab.

Suitable for

• LAN patching between switches, patch panels and wall outlets
• Office and data center horizontal cabling
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices (security cameras, VoIP phones, access points)

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network device (switch, router, wall outlet) and the other plug to the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable without tight bends and avoid excessive tension to maintain performance and extend connector life.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within standard patch length limits and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines. Use the red color coding to separate Category 6 links from other cabling in the rack or patch panel.
