Network Cable Digitus CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45 Cat6a 5m Black

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6A S/FTP RJ-45, 5 m, is a Category 6A patch cord designed for high-speed data transmission and compliance with current cabling standards. It features S/FTP shielding, copper conductors and a transparent yellow, metal-shielded RJ-45 plug for straightforward identification of Category 6A (500 MHz). The cable sheath is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) for improved fire behaviour and reduced smoke emissions during combustion.

Advantages

The cable is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A specifications and delivers performance tested up to 500 MHz, including characteristics such as NEXT (near end crosstalk). A molded boot provides kink protection, strain relief and a latch protection to prevent breaking of the latching lever. The S/FTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference and the copper conductor ensures reliable signal transmission. PoE+ readiness allows power delivery over the same cable where required.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet networks (10GBASE-T and lower)
• Data centers and server connections
• Office and structured cabling installations
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to your network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other to the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages; the molded boot and latch protection reduce the risk of connector damage when handling. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain separation from strong electromagnetic sources where possible to preserve shielding effectiveness.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat 6A S/FTP patch cord for channel installations that require compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173 standards and for applications demanding tested performance up to 500 MHz. For best long-term performance, avoid tight bends (minimum bend radius as per installation guidelines) and do not exceed recommended pull forces when terminating or routing the cable.
