Network cable XXX_Assmann (Digitus) 21.45.3119 Cat6a U/UTP red, 20 m, RJ-45 gold-plated

Network cable XXX_Assmann (Digitus) 21.45.3119 is a pre-assembled Cat6a U/UTP patch cable in red with a length of 20 m and RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts on both ends. Designed for up to 10 Gbps Ethernet in horizontal and patch-panel installations, this cable uses four pairs of stranded copper conductors and follows the EIA/TIA 568 contact assignment for straightforward plug-and-play connections. The jacket is produced with recycled material and the cable includes moulded kink protection to improve durability and handling in office or datacenter environments.

Advantages

This Cat6a U/UTP cable delivers high-speed performance for demanding LAN applications while remaining flexible for routing in tight spaces. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts reduce oxidation and offer reliable electrical connection. The recycled-material jacket supports more sustainable procurement without changing the cable’s electrical characteristics. Moulded strain relief reduces connector stress and the standard 1:1 contact wiring ensures compatibility with switches, patch panels and network devices.

Suitable for

• Horizontal cabling between patch panels and wall outlets in offices
• Patch connections in datacenter racks and network cabinets
• Device-to-switch or device-to-patch-panel connections for desktop and server equipment
• High-speed Ethernet links up to 10 Gbps within local networks

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Construction: 4-pair stranded copper conductor
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded overall, unshielded pairs)
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 plugs on both ends with gold-plated contacts
• Contact assignment: 1:1 in accordance with EIA/TIA 568
• Jacket: recycled-material outer sheath
• Colour: red
• Bendability: flexible design with moulded kink/strain relief

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device, switch or patch panel port and the other plug to the intended port; the cable follows standard pinout so no configuration is required for typical Ethernet links. Route the cable avoiding sharp edges and excessive tensile strain; use cable management elements or Velcro ties to keep runs tidy and prevent stress at connector ends. For permanent or semi-permanent installations, ensure connectors are fully seated and test the link with a network tester if required to verify throughput and pair integrity.

Usage recommendations

For optimal 10 Gbps performance, keep cable runs within the recommended horizontal cabling limits and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines. Use appropriate patch panel ports and avoid excessive bends at the connector strain-relief area. Regularly inspect connectors for contamination and replace the cable if physical damage or intermittent connectivity is observed.
