Network Cable Digitus CAT 6 S/FTP patch cord RJ-45 Cat6 5m White

The Digitus CAT 6 S/FTP patch cord is a 5 m network cable engineered for reliable, high-performance Ethernet connections. It features S/FTP shielding and copper conductors to minimise interference and support PoE+ applications. The cable uses LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheathing and transparent red-coloured plugs with metal shielding to allow easy identification of Category 6 (250 MHz) performance while maintaining robust mechanical protection.

Advantages

Manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 standards, this patch cord ensures compliance with ISO & EN channel specifications and delivers performance up to 250 MHz, including NEXT characteristics. The moulded boot provides kink protection, strain relief and an integrated latch protector to reduce the risk of connector damage. The S/FTP shielding and copper conductor improve signal integrity and make the cable suitable for PoE+ deployments.

Suitable for

• Wiring patch panels, switches and network sockets
• Office and home network installations requiring Cat6 performance
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones and access points
• Environments where low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) cabling is required

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plug ends to the corresponding RJ-45 ports on network devices such as switches, patch panels, routers or wall sockets. Ensure connectors click into place and the integrated latch protector is undamaged. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends; use the moulded boot’s kink protection to maintain cable integrity. For optimal performance, keep cable runs within standard length limits and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines.

Usage recommendations

Use this Digitus CAT 6 S/FTP patch cord for short to medium-length connections within structured cabling systems. For installations requiring extended runs or permanent in-wall wiring, follow local cabling standards and consider using dedicated in-wall rated cables where applicable.
