Network Cable Digitus CAT 6 S/FTP RJ-45 Cat6 5m Blue

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6 S/FTP RJ-45, 5 m, is a Category 6 patch cord designed for reliable data transmission in home and office networks. It features copper conductors, S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, and PoE+ readiness. The cable is fitted with a transparent red, metal-shielded plug for easy identification of Category 6 performance up to 250 MHz and an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and low smoke emissions.

Advantages

Manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications, this DIGITUS patch cord provides performance tested up to 250 MHz including parameters such as NEXT (near end crosstalk). The molded boot includes kink protection, strain relief and a latch protection that prevents breaking of the latching lever. The transparent red connector with metal shielding simplifies identification while S/FTP shielding and copper conductors ensure stable signal transmission. The cable supports PoE+ powering.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in offices and commercial buildings
• Home networks and multimedia streaming
• Network equipment connections (switches, routers, patch panels)
• Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) devices

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6 (Class E), performance up to 250 MHz
• Cable length: 5 m
• Conductor material: Copper (Cu)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually braided pairs) with metal-shielded RJ-45 plug
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, transparent red plug
• PoE support: PoE+
• Standards: ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50173

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (switch, router, patch panel) and the other end to the target device (PC, NAS, access point). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid tight kinks to preserve performance; use the molded boot and strain relief to reduce mechanical stress at the connector. Verify link status on connected devices after installation.

Usage recommendations

For best performance maintain bend radius recommendations from the manufacturer, keep the cable away from high-power electrical lines to reduce interference, and use within structured cabling channels certified to Cat 6 standards. For installations requiring fire-safe materials, the LSZH sheath reduces smoke and hazardous gas emissions.
