Network Cable Digitus CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45 Cat6a 3m Grey

The Digitus CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45 patch cord, 3 m in grey, is a high-performance network cable designed to meet Cat6a standards for fast, reliable wired data transmission. The cable uses copper conductors and S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, supports PoE+ and features an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and low smoke emissions. The transparent yellow plug with metal shielding identifies the Category 6A (500 MHz) specification and the reworked connector includes a bend protection sleeve with latch protection to reduce the risk of damage.

Advantages

The patch cord’s S/FTP shielding provides better protection against crosstalk and external interference, ensuring stable signal integrity at higher frequencies. The LSZH jacket enhances safety in enclosed environments by emitting less smoke and no halogenated gases when exposed to fire. The transparent yellow, metal-shielded connector indicates Cat6A compliance and the improved plug design with latch and bend protection reduces strain and accidental disconnection while protecting the locking tab from breakage. The cable is PoE+ ready and uses copper conductors for reliable conductivity.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections in offices and data centres
• High-speed applications requiring Cat6A (up to 500 MHz) performance
• PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones, access points and cameras
• Installations where low-smoke, zero-halogen jackets are required

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the Digitus CAT 6A patch cord to your network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other RJ-45 end to the target device (computer, server, access point or PoE device). Ensure connectors click into place and route the cable to avoid sharp bends or crushing. For rack installations, use cable management to maintain bend radius and to keep connections accessible. The latch protection and bend sleeve help reduce strain during insertion and removal.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance maintain recommended bend radius and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended distances. Use appropriate patch panels and connectors rated for Cat6A to preserve shielding effectiveness and ensure PoE+ devices receive adequate power.
