Networking cable XXX_Assmann (Digitus) 21.45.3122 Cat6a U/UTP 2 m RJ-45 yellow

ROLINE Recycled Material networking cable by DIGITUS, model 21.45.3122, is an unshielded Cat6a U/UTP patch cable with RJ-45 plugs at both ends. At 2 m length and finished in yellow, this pre-assembled cable is intended for high-speed Ethernet connections in local networks, offering gold-plated contacts and moulded kink protection for reliable signal transfer and durability. The 4-pair stranded copper construction and EIA/TIA 568 1:1 contact wiring provide compatibility with standard network equipment and straightforward plug-and-play installation.

Advantages

The Cat6a U/UTP design supports higher bandwidths and improved crosstalk performance compared with lower-category cables while maintaining flexibility for tight routing. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts enhance corrosion resistance and signal continuity. The moulded strain relief reduces connector stress and improves longevity, and the bright yellow jacket enables quick visual identification in patch panels and cable bundles.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, routers and wall ports in offices and data closets
• Device-to-device connections such as PCs, printers, and network appliances
• Short horizontal links within racks and patch panels
• Temporary or permanent installations where easy cable identification is required

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your switch, router or wall outlet and the other to the network interface of the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For tidy installations, route the cable through cable management panels or clips, and avoid sharp bends beyond the cable's minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. The cable is plug-and-play and requires no additional configuration.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a cable for links up to the specified length and avoid bundling large numbers of unshielded cables tightly with power lines to minimise potential interference. Inspect connectors periodically and replace the cable if the jacket or plugs show physical damage.
