Digitus CAT 6A F-FTP taipuisa verkkokaapeli kupari 3 m harmaa

The Digitus CAT 6A F-FTP Bendable Patch Cable Copper 3m Gray is a slim, high-performance network cable designed for data transmission up to 500 MHz and 10 Gbit/s. Its narrow outer diameter and molded bendable grommet allow routing in confined spaces and around corners while meeting ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173 CAT 6A standards. The cable is PoE+ ready and offers tested channel performance including NEXT, with a 3 m length and gray jacket for professional installations.

Advantages

The cable combines a slim 3.8 mm ± 0.15 mm outer diameter with a flexible, bendable strain-relief grommet that prevents kinking and protects the locking lever. Constructed with AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors and HD-PE insulation, it provides reliable electrical characteristics, low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacketing, and compliance with industry standards for consistent performance in high-density and constrained routing scenarios.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server racks where space is limited
• High-density patch panels and cabling environments
• Home offices and small business networks
• PoE+ powered devices and standard Ethernet applications

How to use

Route the Digitus CAT 6A bendable patch cable through the required path, taking advantage of the slim diameter and flexible grommet to pass around corners and in tight ducts. Insert the RJ45 plugs into matching ports following the EIA/TIA 568B wiring at both ends for a 1:1 pin assignment. Ensure connectors are fully latched; the molded grommet protects the locking lever and reduces strain at the plug. Verify connections and test link speed and integrity after installation.

Recommendations

Use the cable in applications that require high-density routing or limited space, avoid sharp edges that could damage the jacket, and follow standard cabling practices to maintain the specified bending radius (15× OD) and operating temperature range. For guaranteed performance in channel installations, combine with compliant CAT 6A components and test the full link after termination.
