Digitus CAT 6A F-FTP Bendable Patch Cable Copper 0.3m Gray

The Digitus CAT 6A F-FTP Bendable Patch Cable Copper 0.3m Gray is a slim, high-performance network patch cable engineered for 10 Gbit/s transmission and frequencies up to 500 MHz. Its small outer diameter and bendable molded grommet allow installation in confined spaces and around corners while maintaining compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 CAT 6A channel specifications. The cable uses F-FTP shielding and copper conductors to ensure reliable data transmission and is PoE+ ready for powering compatible devices.

Advantages

The angled, slim design and highly flexible kink protection enable effortless routing in tight racks, high-density cabinets and home office setups. Constructed with LSZH outer casing and AWG 32/7 stranded copper conductors, the cable delivers tested performance up to 500 MHz including measured NEXT characteristics. A molded strain relief with locking lever protection prevents plug damage and reduces the risk of kinking.

Suitable for

• Data centers and high-density patching
• Office network connections and switches
• Home office and residential network setups
• PoE+ powered devices (access points, IP phones, cameras)

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the corresponding port on your network device or switch until the locking tab clicks. Route the slim cable through required cable paths, taking advantage of the bendable grommet to navigate tight spaces or corners. Ensure both ends are fully seated and secured. For PoE+ devices, verify switch or injector compatibility and power settings before enabling power delivery.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable in installations where space is limited or high-density patching is required. Avoid exceeding the specified bending radius (15 × OD) and keep the cable within the stated operating temperature range to maintain performance and service life.
