Cabo Patch DIGITUS - CAT6a - S/FTP - Snagless - Cu - 15m - cinzento

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6 S/FTP 15m in grey is a Category 6 patch cord designed for reliable high-speed network connections. It features S/FTP shielding and copper conductors, a transparent red RJ-45 plug with metal shielding for clear Category 6 identification, and a molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and latch protection. The cable is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rated and PoE+ ready, and its performance is tested up to 250 MHz in line with ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 standards.

Advantages

This CAT 6 S/FTP patch cord provides tested Category 6 performance up to 250 MHz, reduced interference due to overall foil and twisted-pair shielding (S/FTP), and reliable signal transmission through copper conductors and gold-plated RJ-45 contacts. The LSZH sheath minimizes smoke and harmful gases in case of fire, while the molded boot with kink and latch protection improves mechanical durability and connector longevity. PoE+ readiness supports devices powered over the network.

Suitable for

• Wired gigabit Ethernet connections (10/100/1000Base-T)
• Office and data center patching between switches, patch panels and workstations
• Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) powered devices such as IP phones, cameras and access points

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to your network device (switch, router, patch panel) and the other RJ-45 connector to the target device or patch point. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable without sharp bends to preserve the integrity of the twisted pairs and avoid strain on the connectors; use the molded boot’s kink protection and strain relief when fastening the cable.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid routing the cable parallel and close to sources of strong electromagnetic interference (large power cables, transformers). Use proper cable management and patch panels in racks or cabinets to maintain bend radii and prevent excess mechanical stress. Verify link performance with appropriate network testers after installation to ensure compliance with Category 6 channel requirements.
