Suitable for

• Short patching runs in data cabinets and patch panels
• High-speed Ethernet connections (Cat6, up to 250 MHz)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other to the target device or panel. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force; use the integrated bend protection and secure the cable in the rack or channel to prevent strain. For best performance, keep the patch cord length appropriate for the planned channel and avoid running parallel to mains power lines.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Digitus CAT 6 S/FTP patch cord for short interconnections within racks and patch panels where Cat6 performance, PoE+ support and LSZH safety properties are required. Regularly inspect plugs for damage and replace if the latch or shielding is compromised.
