Câble patch fin DIGITUS - CAT6A - F-FTP - 5 m - rouge

The DIGITUS Slim Patch Cable CAT 6A (class Ea) F/FTP, 5 m, red, is designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gbit/s and tested to 500 MHz. The slim, flexible design with a small outer diameter and LSZH jacket makes the cable suitable for installations in confined spaces such as data centers, high-density racks and home offices. The cable is shielded (F/FTP) and features RJ‑45 connectors with bronze/gold plating, a molded anti‑kink sleeve with strain relief and a locking lever protection to reduce the risk of plug damage.

Advantages

The cable combines slim, flexible construction with CAT 6A (class Ea) performance and conformity to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 standards. F/FTP shielding improves immunity to electromagnetic interference and supports reliable transmission. The molded sleeve with strain relief and locking lever protection prevents kinking and reduces connector breakage. The LSZH jacket reduces halogen emissions in case of fire and the red colour aids cable identification.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms
• High-density patch panels and switch cabinets
• Home offices and desktop networking
• PoE+ powered devices (supported)

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other plug to the workstation or networked device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking lever clicks into place. Route the slim cable through narrow spaces or cable management trays as required. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force; use the molded strain relief when handling the plug end.

Recommendations

Use DIGITUS CAT 6A F/FTP patch cables for critical high-speed links and PoE+ applications. For best performance, keep cable lengths within specified runs, avoid tight bends, and separate from strong electrical sources. Label the red cable at both ends if used in dense cabling environments for easier identification.
