Digitus CAT 6A F-FTP Bendable Patch Cable Copper 1.5m Gray

The Digitus CAT 6A F-FTP bendable patch cable, 1.5 m, is a slim, flexible network cable for high-speed data transmission. Constructed with stranded copper conductors and an LSZH outer sheath, the cable meets CAT 6A performance and industry standards and is suitable for installations where space is limited. The molded, bendable grommet with strain relief and locking lever protection prevents kinking and protects the plug during repeated use.

Advantages

The cable combines a small total diameter (approx. 3.8 mm) and a highly flexible design to allow effortless routing in tight spaces and around corners while supporting transmission speeds up to 10 Gbit/s and testing up to 500 MHz. It is PoE+ capable and manufactured to ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173 CAT 6A standards, providing reliable channel performance including near-end crosstalk characteristics.

Suitable for

• Data centers and high-density rack environments
• Home offices and small office networks
• Patching in cabinets and tight cable ducts
• Applications requiring PoE+ power delivery

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plugs into compatible network ports on switches, patch panels or devices following the EIA/TIA 568B wiring standard. Route the bendable cable through tight spaces or around corners using the molded grommet to prevent sharp kinks; the flexible strain relief and lever protection reduce stress on the plug. Avoid excessive pulling force beyond normal installation tension and ensure connectors are fully engaged to guarantee reliable contact.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs within recommended lengths for patching (1.5 m in this product), maintain proper bend radius (15 × OD), and avoid running parallel and close to high-voltage power lines. Use the cable in environments within the specified temperature range and follow standard installation practices to preserve shielding and screening integrity.
