DIGITUS patchkabel - CAT6 - S/FTP - Snagless - Cu - 5m - wit - 10-pack

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6 S/FTP RJ-45 5m in white is a Category 6 patch cord designed for structured cabling in offices and homes. It features S/FTP shielding, copper conductors and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer sheath for improved fire behaviour and low smoke emission. The cable is PoE+ ready and comes with transparent red RJ-45 plugs with metal shielding for easy identification of Category 6 (250 MHz) performance.

Advantages

The cable is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications, guaranteeing compliance with ISO & EN channel requirements and performance up to 250 MHz including NEXT characteristics. Molded boots provide kink protection, strain relief and latch protection to reduce connector damage. S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference for more reliable data transmission, and the copper conductor ensures stable signal quality. The white jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for visible installations.

Suitable for

• Structured LAN installations in offices and homes
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and network devices

How to use

Uncoil the 5 m DIGITUS CAT 6 S/FTP patch cord and route it between devices to avoid sharp bends. Insert the RJ-45 connectors fully into the corresponding ports on your switch, router or network device until the latch clicks. Use the molded boot to protect the connector from strain; avoid pulling the cable by the connector. For patch panel connections, ensure connectors align with the panel ports and that the cable is not tensioned or twisted.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended lengths for patching (5 m used here) and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines. Use within structured cabling channels tested to Category 6 standards and verify connections with appropriate network testing tools after installation.
