Digitus CAT 6A F-FTP Bendable Patch Cable Copper 5m Gray 10 Pieces

The Digitus CAT 6A F-FTP bendable patch cable is a high-performance networking solution designed for reliable, high-speed data transmission. With a length of 5 meters and a slim, flexible construction, this cable is engineered to provide seamless connectivity in demanding environments. The use of high-quality copper conductors ensures consistent signal integrity, while the specialized bendable grommet allows for easy installation in tight spaces, server racks, or around corners without compromising performance.

Advantages

This patch cable offers significant advantages for modern network infrastructures, primarily due to its slim outer diameter and highly flexible design. The integrated bendable kink protection with strain relief prevents cable damage and ensures long-term durability. Furthermore, the cable features locking lever protection, which prevents the plug from breaking and ensures a secure connection. Its compatibility with PoE+ standards makes it a versatile choice for powering network devices, while the LSZH outer casing provides enhanced safety by reducing smoke emission in the event of fire.

Suitable for

• Data centers and high-density server environments
• Home office and professional networking setups
• Connecting network devices in confined spaces
• Applications requiring 10 Gbit/s transmission speeds

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be the optimal choice for industrial environments requiring heavy-duty, armored, or outdoor-rated cabling, as it is designed primarily for indoor use. Additionally, for installations requiring extremely long cable runs beyond standard patch cord lengths, dedicated structured cabling solutions should be considered.

Key specifications

• Transmission speed: 10 Gbit/s
• Frequency: 500 MHz
• Outer diameter: 3.8 mm
• Conductor material: AWG 32/7 bare copper
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Connector type: RJ45
• Operating temperature: -20 °C to +60 °C
• Flame retardancy: IEC 60332-1
• Service life: 750 mating cycles
• Quantity: 10 pieces

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 plug into the corresponding network port on your device or patch panel until you hear a click. The flexible design allows you to route the cable through narrow cable management channels or tight corners. Ensure that the bending radius does not exceed 15 times the outer diameter to maintain optimal signal quality. The cable is ready for immediate use in standard 1:1 wiring configurations.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific installation path
• Ensure your network equipment supports CAT 6A standards for maximum performance
• Check if your environment requires LSZH-rated cables for fire safety compliance
• Confirm the quantity of 10 pieces meets your project requirements

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and ensure the cable is not pinched by heavy equipment or furniture. Regularly inspect the locking levers to ensure a secure connection to your networking hardware.
