Patch Cable Digitus CAT 6 S/FTP DK-1644-005/G 0.5m Green

The DIGITUS Patch Cord CAT 6 S/FTP DK-1644-005/G is a 0.5 m green network patch cable engineered for reliable data transmission in structured cabling systems. It uses copper conductors and S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and is PoE+ ready. The cable features an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket for improved fire safety and low smoke emissions, and a transparent red-colored RJ-45 plug with metal shielding for easy identification of Category 6 (250 MHz) performance.

Advantages

The patch cord is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 standards, ensuring compliance with channel specifications and stable performance. The RJ-45 connector includes bend and latch protection to prevent cable snagging and protect the latching lever from breaking. S/FTP shielding and copper conductors provide enhanced signal integrity, while the LSZH sheath improves safety in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in data centers and server rooms
• Office network cabling between switches and patch panels
• PoE/PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones and access points
• Installation scenarios requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plugs to the corresponding network ports on your devices, switches or patch panels, ensuring secure engagement of the latch. Route the 0.5 m patch cord without sharp bends and avoid placing it near strong EMI sources where possible. The cable is ready for immediate use in Cat 6 installations and supports PoE+ powered equipment when connected to compatible power sourcing equipment.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the DIGITUS CAT 6 S/FTP patch cord within a properly terminated Cat 6 channel and avoid exceeding the 250 MHz application limits. In installations where fire safety is a concern, prefer LSZH-sheathed cables and maintain bend radii recommended by the connector manufacturer to protect the latch and shielding.
