Patch Cable Digitus CAT 6A class Ea F/FTP 0.5m Blue

The DIGITUS Slim Patch Cable CAT 6A (class Ea) F/FTP, 0.5 m, in blue, is designed for high-speed network connections up to 10 Gbit/s and tested to 500 MHz. The cable uses RJ-45 connectors with bronze/gold plating, a copper conductor and a low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket. Its slim, flexible design and F/FTP shielding make it suitable for dense installations such as data centers, high-density racks and home offices while reducing interference and ensuring reliable transmission.

Advantages

This patch cable combines a slim, flexible outer jacket with high-performance CAT 6A specifications, enabling easy installation in confined spaces without sacrificing transmission characteristics. It is manufactured to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 standards, offers tested performance including NEXT up to 500 MHz and supports transmission speeds up to 10 Gbit/s. The molded anti-kink sleeve with strain relief and locking lever protection prevents connector damage and kinking during use. The F/FTP shielding improves immunity to electromagnetic interference and the LSZH jacket reduces hazardous fumes in case of fire.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server racks
• High-density network cabling
• Home offices and small office networks
• PoE+ enabled devices and installations

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (switch, router, patch panel or NIC) and the other plug to the corresponding port. Ensure the locking tab clicks into place on both ends. Route the slim cable through cable channels or racks; avoid sharp bends beyond the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius and do not apply excessive tensile force. The molded sleeve and strain relief help maintain connector integrity during handling and movement.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT 6A F/FTP cable in shielded or mixed environments where electromagnetic interference is a concern, and pair it with compatible CAT 6A components (patch panels, jacks, and switches). Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended distances and inspect connectors periodically for secure locking.
