DIGITUS DK-1644-030/R CAT 6 S/FTP Network Patch Cable 3m Red
DIGITUS CAT 6 S/FTP Network Patch Cable 3m Red
The DIGITUS DK-1644-030/R is a 3-metre shielded network patch cable designed for dependable Ethernet connectivity in homes, offices and professional network installations. It combines CAT 6 performance up to 250MHz with copper conductors, S/FTP shielding and a low-smoke, halogen-free jacket.
Key Features
Tested for network transmission at frequencies up to 250MHz according to applicable CAT 6 specifications.
Individually foil-shielded wire pairs and an overall braid help reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk.
Flexible AWG 27/7 stranded copper conductors provide dependable signal transmission for patching applications.
Moulded boots provide kink protection, strain relief and latch protection for frequent connection and removal.
Why Choose It?
This cable provides a reliable shielded connection between network devices while its red jacket makes it easy to identify within a cabinet or structured cabling installation. The LSZH construction is particularly suitable for areas where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are preferred.

Singular Expert Insight
The red jacket is useful for colour-coding critical links, uplinks or separate network segments. To benefit from the S/FTP construction, connect the cable to compatible shielded RJ45 ports within a properly grounded network installation.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if: You need a flexible 3-metre shielded CAT 6 cable for connecting network equipment while using red colour coding.
Skip it if: You require an unshielded cable, outdoor-rated jacket or certified CAT 6A 10Gbps performance.
Also consider: A CAT 6A S/FTP patch cable for installations that require 500MHz bandwidth and more demanding 10GBase-T links.
FAQ
Is this cable shielded?
Yes. It uses S/FTP construction with foil shielding around the wire pairs and an overall braided shield.
Are the conductors made from copper?
Yes. The cable uses stranded AWG 27/7 copper conductors rather than copper-clad aluminium.
What does LSZH mean?
LSZH means low smoke zero halogen, indicating a jacket designed to produce less smoke and no halogen gases when exposed to fire.
