Patch cord Digitus CAT 6 S/FTP DK-1644-010/WH

The DIGITUS Patch cord CAT 6 S/FTP DK-1644-010/WH is a 1 m network patch cable designed for reliable Gigabit connectivity. The cable features S/FTP shielding, copper conductors and RJ-45 connectors with copper plating. It is manufactured to Category 6 (Class E) standards and tested up to 250 MHz to meet ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 channel requirements. The connector housings are transparent red for easy identification of Category 6, while the cable jacket is low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) for improved fire behaviour.

Advantages

LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire and improves safety in enclosed spaces. S/FTP shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for stable high-speed data transmission. Molded boots provide kink protection, strain relief and an integrated latch protection to prevent connector damage. PoE+ ready design supports Power over Ethernet applications.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in offices and data centers
• Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) connections
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones and access points
• Patch panels and switch-to-workstation links

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 6 (Class E), tested to 250 MHz
• Length: 1 m
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foiled pairs)
• Conductor material: Copper (Cu)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, copper-plated contacts
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Color: White (transparent red connector housings for identification)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network switch or patch panel and the other to the target device (PC, access point, IP phone). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and heavy compression; the molded boot provides strain relief but maintaining gentle curves preserves signal integrity. For PoE applications verify port power specifications before use.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs within standard channel length limits and separate high-voltage power lines from data cabling. Use appropriate patch panels and maintain proper bend radius to preserve Category 6 performance up to 250 MHz.
