DIGITUS cavo patch testato componente per componente - CAT6a - S/FTP - stampato - 5 m - grigio

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45 5m in grey is a component-level tested patch cord designed for high-performance structured cabling. It complies with ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A specifications, is PoE+ ready, and features copper conductors and a transparent yellow RJ-45 plug with metal shielding to allow easy identification of Category 6A (500 MHz). The sheath is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) to reduce smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire.

Advantages

Component level tested to ensure each cable component meets performance requirements; tested up to 500 MHz including NEXT characteristics. S/FTP shielding minimises electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Molded boots provide kink protection, strain relief and a latch protection to prevent the locking tab from breaking. The transparent yellow connector enables quick visual identification of Category 6A cabling while the grey jacket provides a neutral appearance for professional installations.

Suitable for

• Data centre and server room patching
• Office structured cabling and horizontal links
• Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) powered devices
• High-speed networks requiring up to 500 MHz performance

Key specifications

• Standard: ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50173 Category 6A
• Cable type: S/FTP (overall braid + foil on pairs)
• Conductor: Copper (Cu)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, transparent yellow plug with metal shielding
• Frequency: up to 500 MHz
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• PoE: PoE+ ready
• Colour: Grey (cable jacket)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to a network switch or router and the other to the target device (PC, server, patch panel, or PoE device). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and route the cable without sharp bends to maintain the integrity of the S/FTP shielding and avoid excessive strain. Use the molded boot to protect the connector and latch during installation and operation.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines or strong electromagnetic sources. Maintain bend radius according to installation standards and use patch panels or cable management to minimise connector strain and preserve the tested channel performance.
