DIGITUS patchkabel - CAT6a - S/FTP - met trekontlasting - Cu - 1 m - rood

The DIGITUS Patch cord CAT 6A S/FTP DK-1644-A-010/R is a 1 m red patch cable designed for high-performance network connections. It is manufactured to Category 6A (Class EA) standards and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173, providing verified performance up to 500 MHz. The cable uses copper conductors, S/FTP shielding and a LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and reduced smoke emission. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors featuring transparent yellow, metal-shielded plugs for easy identification and reliable connection.

Advantages

The DIGITUS CAT 6A S/FTP patch cord offers certified Category 6A performance up to 500 MHz, PoE+ readiness, and full-metal shielding at the connector for enhanced electromagnetic protection. A molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and latch protection reduces the risk of connector damage and improves cable longevity. The LSZH jacket provides safer behaviour in case of fire and the red cable colour allows quick visual identification within cabling installations.

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the 1 m DIGITUS CAT 6A patch cord without sharp bends and avoid tight cable ties to maintain performance. Use the cable for direct device-to-switch connections, patch panel-to-switch links or other short horizontal cabling runs within the rated environment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT 6A S/FTP patch cord within a compliant Category 6A structured cabling system and avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius. Verify connector seating and avoid mechanical stress on the plug latch; store and deploy in environments that do not exceed the manufacturer’s temperature and humidity limits.
