Patch Cord Digitus CAT 6 S/FTP DK-1644-010/G

The DIGITUS Patch Cord CAT 6 S/FTP DK-1644-010/G is a 1 m network patch cable designed to deliver Category 6 performance up to 250 MHz. The cable features S/FTP shielding, copper conductors, LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer sheath for improved fire behaviour and low smoke emissions, and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The transparent red-coloured plug with metal shielding identifies Category 6 compatibility and the molded boot includes kink protection, strain relief and latch protection for durable use. The green cable colour is specified by the manufacturer.

Advantages

This patch cord is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications, providing compliance with ISO & EN channel requirements and reliable performance characteristics such as NEXT tested up to 250 MHz. The S/FTP construction and copper conductor improve signal integrity and PoE+ readiness. The LSZH sheath reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in the event of a fire, while the molded boot with strain relief and latch protection enhances connector durability.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and network devices in office and data centre environments
• Horizontal cabling and patching in structured cabling systems requiring Category 6 performance
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones and access points

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 6 (Class E), tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173
• Performance: up to 250 MHz, NEXT tested
• Shielding: S/FTP (screened foil around pairs with overall braid)
• Conductor material: Copper (Cu)
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, transparent red coloured plug with metal shielding
• Colour: Green
• PoE: PoE+ ready

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding ports of networking devices such as switches, patch panels or network interface cards until the latch clicks into place. Use the 1 m length for short patching runs between adjacent equipment or within racks. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid sharp bends near the molded boot; the kink protection and strain relief are intended to reduce mechanical stress on the cable and connector.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable away from strong electromagnetic interference sources (large power cabling, transformers). Maintain the cable bend radius recommended by the manufacturer and avoid excessive pulling force when installing. Use within structured cabling channels that require Category 6 S/FTP performance and in installations where LSZH properties are mandated.
