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

The Digitus Network Cable CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45, 3 m, is a shielded patch cord designed for high-speed Ethernet and professional network installations. Constructed with copper conductors and S/FTP shielding, it meets ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A (Class EA) requirements and is tested up to 500 MHz to ensure reliable transmission and compliance with channel specifications. The cable features a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) sheath and transparent yellow, metal-shielded RJ-45 plugs for easy identification of Category 6A connectors; the cord is PoE+ ready and supplied in black cable colour.

Advantages

The patch cord offers high-frequency performance up to 500 MHz with validated characteristics such as NEXT (near end crosstalk), metal-shielded transparent yellow plugs for clear Category 6A identification, and a copper conductor for stable signal transmission. The LSZH sheath minimises smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. Molded boots provide kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation and handling.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in office and data centre networks
• High-speed Ethernet links (10G and above where supported by infrastructure)
• PoE/PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones, access points and cameras
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (switch, patch panel or NIC) and the other plug to the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Use the integrated kink protection and strain relief when routing the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile load. For best performance, install within a compliant structured cabling channel and avoid running the cable parallel to power lines or strong electromagnetic interference sources.

Usage recommendations

For reliable Category 6A performance, keep patch cord lengths within the recommendations of your network design, maintain proper bend radius, and use shielded patch panels and connectors in shielded installations to preserve overall S/FTP effectiveness.
