DIGITUS patchkábel – CAT6a – S/FTP – snagless – Cu – 10 m – piros

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45, 10 m, red is a Category 6A patch cord designed for high-performance Ethernet connections up to 500 MHz. It features S/FTP shielding, copper conductors and RJ-45 connectors with transparent yellow plugs for clear Category 6A identification. The cable jacket is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) to improve fire behaviour and minimise smoke emissions in case of fire. The product is PoE+ ready and intended for installations that require compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A channel specifications.

Advantages

The cable provides tested performance up to 500 MHz including NEXT characteristics, ensuring reliable signal integrity for high-speed data transmission. Moulded boots on both ends include kink protection, strain relief and a latch protection to reduce risk of connector damage. S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference, while the copper conductors deliver consistent electrical performance. The LSZH sheath offers improved safety in enclosed spaces by limiting toxic and dense smoke during a fire.

Suitable for

• Office and home networks requiring Gigabit and multi-Gigabit connections
• Server rooms and data centres meeting ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173 standards
• Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) powered devices such as IP phones and cameras
• Environments where reduced smoke and halogen-free materials are required

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 6A (Class EA), tested up to 500 MHz
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually braided/drain-shielded pairs)
• Conductor material: Copper (Cu)
• Connectors: RJ-45 – RJ-45 with transparent yellow plug (metal shielding)
• Length: 10 m
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: Red (connector transparent yellow for identification)
• PoE: PoE+ ready

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other to the target device (PC, server, access point). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and avoid sharp bends near the moulded boot; use the kink protection to maintain cable integrity. Route the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference and secure it with appropriate cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, test installed links to verify Category 6A compliance and confirm performance up to 500 MHz. Use proper bending radius and avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines to reduce interference.
