Patch cord Digitus CAT 6A S/FTP DK-1644-A-0025/R 0.25m Red

The Digitus CAT 6A S/FTP patch cord DK-1644-A-0025/R is a 0.25 m red network cable designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling systems. Constructed with copper conductors and S/FTP shielding, it meets Category 6A (Class EA) specifications and is tested up to 500 MHz. The cable uses a transparent yellow RJ-45 plug with metal shielding for easy identification of Cat 6A and features a molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath improves fire behaviour and reduces smoke emissions, and the cable is PoE+ ready.

Advantages

Meets ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A requirements and is tested for performance up to 500 MHz, including NEXT characteristics. S/FTP shielding and copper conductors provide reliable signal integrity for demanding applications. The LSZH jacket enhances safety in case of fire by producing low smoke and no halogen gases. Molded boots with kink protection, strain relief and latch protection increase mechanical durability and connector longevity. The transparent yellow connector allows quick visual identification of Cat 6A cabling.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet connections (10GBase-T and similar)
• Patch panels, switches and routers in data centres and office networks
• Environments requiring PoE+ power delivery
• Installations where LSZH jacket is preferred for fire safety

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 plug to the corresponding RJ-45 port on your network devices such as switches, patch panels or routers. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages and avoid tight bends at the connector boot to maintain performance. Use appropriate cable management and routing to prevent mechanical stress and electromagnetic interference. For PoE+ applications verify device compatibility and power budgets before use.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling during installation, keep cable runs within standard channel length limits for your network design, and separate patch cords from strong power cables or EMI sources. Select the LSZH jacket where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required by building regulations or safety policies.
