Network Cable DIGITUS DK-1626-A-VH-5 U/FTP Cat.6A 500m Blue

The DIGITUS DK-1626-A-VH-5 U/FTP Cat.6A network cable, 500 m in length, is designed for high-performance structured cabling in commercial and residential installations. Constructed with AWG 23/1 solid conductors and an overall foil shield with individually screened pairs (U/FTP), this Cat.6A cable supports high data rates and provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference. The cable jacket is LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) and carries a B2ca fire rating for use in indoor environments where reduced smoke and toxic gas emission are required. The blue jacket color aids visual identification and organization within cable bundles and racks.

Advantages

This DIGITUS Cat.6A cable offers the electrical and mechanical properties required for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications while maintaining conductor integrity through AWG 23/1 solid copper. The U/FTP construction reduces crosstalk and external interference, improving signal stability over long runs. The LSOH jacket minimizes harmful emissions in case of fire and the B2ca rating aligns the cable with stringent building materials standards for indoor installations. A 500 m spool provides continuity for long horizontal or backbone runs, reducing the number of joins and potential points of failure.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed LAN applications
• Structured cabling for office floors, data centers, and server rooms
• Horizontal cabling runs and vertical backbone installations
• Indoor installations requiring low-smoke, halogen-free materials

How to use

Plan cable routes to avoid sources of strong electromagnetic interference and to respect bend radius limits specified by Cat.6A standards. Unroll the 500 m spool and cut runs to required lengths, terminating each end with suitably rated Cat.6A connectors or patch panels designed for solid AWG 23 conductors. Ensure proper grounding of shields where required and maintain pair integrity when stripping and terminating to preserve performance. Test each installed link with a certified cable tester to verify compliance with Cat.6A performance parameters before placing the network into service.

Usage recommendations

For best results use this DIGITUS U/FTP Cat.6A cable in combination with Cat.6A-compliant connectors, jacks and patch panels; maintain separation from high-voltage cabling and avoid sharp bends. Regularly inspect and test long runs after installation to ensure signal integrity and adherence to performance standards.
