Digitus CAT 6A F-FTP Bendable Patch Cable Copper 2m Gray

The Digitus CAT 6A F-FTP bendable patch cable (2 m, gray) is a slim, high-performance copper network cable engineered for 10 Gbit/s transmission and operation up to 500 MHz. Its reduced outer diameter and flexible, bendable grommet enable installation in confined spaces and around corners while maintaining compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173 CAT 6A standards. The cable is PoE+ ready and designed for data centers, high-density cabling and home office networks that require reliable, high-bandwidth connections.

Advantages

The cable combines a slim outer diameter (approx. 3.8 mm) with a highly flexible, molded kink protection and strain relief to prevent plug damage and kinking. It is manufactured with LSZH jacket material for low smoke and zero halogen properties and has been tested for parameters such as NEXT to ensure channel performance up to 500 MHz. The plug features a locking lever protection and the cable meets common industry standards to ensure compatibility and predictable performance.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server racks
• High-density patch panels and cabling closets
• Home offices and small business workstations
• PoE+ powered devices (phones, cameras, access points)

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plugs to the corresponding network ports on your devices or patch panels following the EIA/TIA 568B wiring standard. Route the cable through cable management channels or around corners as needed; the slim diameter and bendable grommet allow tight installations while maintaining performance. Ensure the locking lever is engaged and not obstructed by the grommet protection when securing connections.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends beyond the specified bending radius (15× OD) and keep the cable clear of high-voltage power lines to reduce interference. Use appropriate cable management in high-density installations and verify PoE+ compatibility of connected devices when powering equipment over Ethernet.
