DIGITUS

DIGITUS fills the whole cabinet, then leaves the depth blank

Where DIGITUS turns up on this site

At both ends of a build. The enclosure on the wall, the shelf and the roof cooling inside it, the panel and the modules in front of it, the plugs on the cable, the fibre leads and the optics that carry a link out of the room — and, away from the cabinet altogether, a four-socket network card and a line-interactive UPS.

The figures these listings do print

Insertion loss at 0.30 dB or better and return loss at 30 dB or better on a fibre pack, with an individual measurement report said to travel with every lead. Mating cycles, pull load, dielectric strength, insulation resistance and contact resistance on a patch panel. An operating window from −40 °C to +80 °C on a field-terminated plug. A UPS runtime quoted against a load in watts rather than as a bare number of minutes, beside a classification code for its topology.

Where the same page stops

The cabinet listing gives an outer depth of 300 mm and never the usable depth behind the rails, and leaves the load rating, the ventilation and the lock type out. The roof cooling module quotes 552 m³/h free-blowing, which is not what it moves inside a closed cabinet, and its mounting holes are stated to match the maker’s own named ranges rather than a rack width. The network card publishes a bus width, then gives its lane count one value in one bullet and another in the next.

  • DIGITUS Cat 6A shielded keystone module with an RJ45 socket and a plastic latch

    DIGITUS Cat 6A shielded keystone jack, AWG 26/7 to 22/1, single module

    The one module on this shelf sold singly rather than in fours or twelves, published with a conductor window that covers stranded and solid alike and with a certification named by the body that issued it.

    Category rating
    Cat 6A, Class EA — stated in the title and in the first and third bullets, with 500 MHz and up to 10 Gbit/s quoted, on the stated condition that the cable behind it is Cat 6A or higher
    Termination method
    Toolless insulation-displacement — stated in the third bullet as an installation needing no tool, for conductor cross sections between AWG 26/7 and 22/1. The fourth bullet adds that the strips are colour-coded to EIA/TIA 568 A and B
    Shielded or unshielded
    Shielded — stated in the title and in the first bullet, which names a 360-degree screen around the module
    Module depth
    Not published on the listing — no depth, height or length appears. The fourth bullet says instead that the module is design-compatible with common network outlets, which is a claim about the front and not about the room behind it
    Angled or straight body
    Not published on the listing — nothing says which way the cable leaves the back of the module, and no exit angle is quoted
    Colour options
    Not published on the listing — the only colour coding named is on the termination strips, to EIA/TIA 568 A and B, which is a wiring order rather than a choice of body finish
    Pack quantity
    One — stated in the title. It is the only single-module listing on this shelf
    Accessories included
    Not published on the listing — the fourth bullet describes a plastic latch on the top of the body and a GHMT certification, and names nothing supplied alongside the module

    • The conductor window covers stranded and solid at once, in a notation that says which is which
    • Sold singly, so a run that needs three modules does not mean buying four or twelve
    • No depth published, which is the dimension that decides whether a plate sits flat

    Best for: A single socket being added to an existing installation, where the module has to match a plate that is already on the wall.

  • DIGITUS compact M.2 SATA SSD enclosure with a USB Type-C socket

    DIGITUS M.2 SATA B-key enclosure, 2230 to 2280, USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C, 101 × 32 × 10 mm

    The cheapest enclosure on this shelf and the only one that will not read an NVMe drive at all: a B-key M.2 SATA housing whose chipset is named and whose dimensions are printed to the millimetre.

    Supported drive protocols
    M.2 SATA in the B-key format only — stated in the title and in the second bullet. No NVMe drive will work in it, and the key notch of an M.2 SATA drive and an NVMe drive look much the same, which is why the title says B-Key and why this line says it first
    Supported drive lengths
    2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 — all four listed in the second bullet, with a capacity of up to 8 TB given in the third
    Interface standard
    USB 3.1 Gen2 — stated in the title and in the first bullet, which adds backward compatibility with USB 3.0, 2.0 and 1.1
    Stated link rate
    6 Gbps — the first bullet says the USB 3.1 Gen2 interface supports transfer rates of up to 6 Gbps. Six gigabits per second is the rate of the SATA III standard rather than of a USB 3.1 Gen2 port, and the listing prints the two figures against each other without reconciling them
    Connector type
    Type-C — stated in the title. The socket on the enclosure is what is described; the cable in the box is not published on the listing
    Case material
    Not published on the listing — no metal and no plastic is named. The fourth bullet gives the dimensions as 101 × 32 × 10 mm and calls the enclosure a suitable companion for travel, the office or university
    Thermal arrangement
    Not published on the listing — no thermal pad, no heatsink and no fin pattern is named. The third bullet credits the JMS576B chipset with reliable and efficient performance and says nothing about heat
    Tool-free assembly
    Tool-free — the second bullet says the M.2 module is inserted without tools, which it gives as the reason the installation is easier
    Cables supplied
    Not published on the listing — no lead is named in any bullet. The fourth says the power comes over USB with no separate mains adapter, which describes the supply rather than the cable

    EAN
    4016032497554
    • The only enclosure here for M.2 SATA drives, which the other five will not read at all
    • Names its chipset, the JMS576B, which two of the six listings here never do
    • A 6 Gbps figure quoted against a USB 3.1 Gen2 interface, and the two are not the same thing

    Best for: An M.2 SATA drive pulled out of an old laptop, which none of the other enclosures on this shelf will read.

  • DIGITUS violet duplex OM4 fibre patch cables with LC connectors, five in a pack

    DIGITUS DK-2533-02-4, five 2 m duplex OM4 LC leads, 50/125 µ

    Five identical duplex OM4 leads in one box, sold with the most detailed rate-and-distance table on this shelf and an individual measurement report said to travel with every lead in the packet.

    Fibre type
    Multimode, fibre type 50/125 µ — stated in the title and in the first bullet, which calls it a multimode duplex
    Fibre grade
    OM4 — stated in the title and in the first bullet, which says the OM4 fibre offers higher transmission rates than OM1, OM2 and OM3, names compatibility with OM3, OM5 and short-wave division multiplexing, and gives wavelengths of 850 nm and 1300 nm
    Connector types at each end
    LC at both ends — stated in the title. The fourth bullet describes ceramic ferrules with dust caps, anti-kink boots and fibre marking
    Simplex or duplex
    Duplex — stated in the title, with five leads to a pack
    Polarity arrangement
    Not published on the listing — the fourth bullet names a fibre marking without saying what it marks or how it reads, and nothing anywhere says whether the pair is supplied crossed
    Length
    2 m — stated in the title, five pieces to a pack
    Jacket rating
    LSZH — stated in the third bullet, which says the outer sheath of the lead is made of halogen-free material and has flame-retardant behaviour in a fire
    Polish type
    UPC — named in the fourth bullet in brackets beside a return loss of 30 dB or better, with an insertion loss of 0.30 dB or less quoted in the same line
    Armouring
    Not published on the listing — no armour is named. The fifth bullet supplies an individual test or measurement report with every lead instead, and says all leads pass a strict quality control after production

    EAN
    4016032496212
    • Five rates each against its own distance and its own designation, the fullest such table here
    • Five leads to a pack, which populates a patch field rather than a single link
    • Polarity is unwritten, on five duplex leads at once

    Best for: Populating a patch field of OM4 links inside one cabinet, where five identical 2 m leads are exactly the order that is wanted.

  • DIGITUS grey 10-inch six-unit wall network cabinet with a glass door

    DIGITUS 10-inch 6U wall cabinet, 330 × 312 × 300 mm, lockable glass door

    The smallest cabinet in this hub and the only 10-inch one, sized for a flat or a small office where a full rack would be absurd, with an earthing bolt and cable entries top and bottom.

    Rack units
    Six — stated in the title, alongside the outer dimensions of 330 × 312 × 300 mm in height, width and depth
    Mounting width
    10-inch — stated in the title and in the first bullet, and given as 254 mm in the fifth, which lists the DIGITUS components available in that format: patch panels, LAN and PoE switches, socket strips, cable management and shelves
    Usable internal depth
    Not published on the listing — the title gives an outer depth of 300 mm and no bullet gives a rail-to-rail figure. The fourth says the rails can be fitted in three different positions, which changes the usable depth without stating any of the three values
    Wall or floor mounting
    Wall — the first bullet calls it a 10-inch wall enclosure for structured IT cabling, suited to a home or a small office environment
    Rail arrangement
    Profile rails adjustable to three different positions — stated in the fourth bullet. The number of rails and whether they are square-hole or threaded is not published on the listing
    Door type
    Lockable glass — stated in the second bullet, which gives visual inspection of a router, a NAS or a switch as the reason for the glazing and protection from unauthorised access as the reason for the lock
    Ventilation
    Not published on the listing — no vents, no louvres and no fan aperture is named anywhere. The door is glass, which is the arrangement that moves the least air, and the third bullet describes the cable entries without mentioning airflow
    Stated load rating
    Not published on the listing — no static load figure appears. The fourth bullet names a steel housing and an earthing bolt, and gives no weight the cabinet will carry
    Cable entries
    In the floor and the roof — stated in the third bullet, which says power and network cable can be brought into the mini rack from below as well as from above
    Lock type
    Not published on the listing — the door is described as lockable in the second bullet and no lock pattern, key type or barrel is named

  • DIGITUS black four-fan roof cooling module for a network cabinet

    DIGITUS four-fan roof module, 9.2 m³/min and 552 m³/h free-blowing, 60–65 dB, 13.8 W

    The best-measured cooling unit in this hub and the only one that says what its airflow figure assumes: 552 cubic metres an hour, free-blowing, which is not the same as inside a closed cabinet.

    Fan count
    Four — stated in the title and in the third bullet, which gives the count alongside the two airflow figures
    Fan size
    Not published on the listing — no diameter and no frame dimension appears in any bullet. The third gives the airflow and the count and no dimension for either fan
    Stated airflow
    9.2 m³/min, and 552 m³/h given as the free-blowing volume flow — both stated in the third bullet. The words free-blowing are the maker’s own and they qualify the figure: it is the throughput with nothing resisting it, rather than inside a closed cabinet
    Airflow unit
    Cubic metres, published twice — per minute and per hour. The other measured unit on this shelf publishes cubic feet per minute, so the two cannot be compared without converting one of them
    Stated noise level
    60 to 65 dB with four fans fitted — stated in the fourth bullet, which ties the figure explicitly to the number of fans running. The measuring distance is not published on the listing. It is the loudest figure on this shelf
    Roof or rack-mount format
    Roof — stated in the title and in the second bullet, which describes a roof fan module and says matching holes are present in the cabinet roof of the ranges named in the first
    Rack units occupied
    None stated, and a roof module consumes none: the second bullet places it in the cabinet roof rather than on the profile rails. No rack unit figure appears on the page
    Airflow direction
    Not published on the listing — nothing says which way the fans push and nothing says whether they can be turned in their frame. The second bullet places the module in the roof and stops there
    Thermostat or speed control
    A thermostat covering 0 °C to +35 °C — stated in the fourth bullet. It is one of two threshold ranges published on this shelf and the narrower of the two
    Power connection
    A rated power of 13.8 W, with an input of AC 50 Hz at 240 V, AC 60 Hz at 220 V or DC 48 V — all stated in the fifth bullet. No lead, inlet or plug type is published

  • DIGITUS black perforated 19-inch 1U rack shelf with front mounting flanges

    DIGITUS 19-inch 1U fixed shelf, 250 mm deep, 441 × 250 mm usable, 15 kg

    The cheapest shelf in this hub and one of only two that separate the usable surface from the outer dimension, with its screws, cage nuts and washers all listed in the delivery.

    Rack units
    One — stated in the title and in the second bullet, which says the shelf needs only a single rack unit
    Mounting depth
    250 mm — stated in the title and in the first bullet. The second adds that the shelf fits DIGITUS 19-inch network cabinets from a depth of 450 mm upwards, which is a requirement on the cabinet rather than a dimension of the shelf
    Cantilever or four-post support
    Not published on the listing — the second bullet says the shelf is fixed to the 19-inch profile rails of the network cabinet and does not say whether that means the front rails alone or front and rear. No post count appears anywhere
    Stated load rating
    Up to 15 kg — stated in the fifth bullet, alongside a construction of high-grade steel sheet. It is the lowest load on this shelf apart from the sliding one
    Vented or solid surface
    Vented — the fourth bullet describes the perforation of the shelf as allowing unhindered air circulation in the cabinet and contributing to the cooling of the equipment
    Sliding or fixed
    Fixed — stated in the title as a shelf for fixed installation, and in the second bullet, which describes it bolted to the profile rails
    Usable surface dimensions
    441 × 250 mm in width and depth — stated in the first bullet as the surface inside the shelf, against outer dimensions of 482 × 250 mm. Two of the seven shelves here separate those two figures and this is one of them
    Fixings supplied
    Screws, cage nuts and washers — stated in the fifth bullet as included in the delivery. It is the fullest fixing list on this shelf

  • DIGITUS bidirectional gigabit SFP module with a single LC optical port

    DIGITUS DN-81003, bidirectional single-mode SFP, Tx 1310 / Rx 1550 nm, 20 km stated

    A single-strand module that sends on one wavelength and listens on another, sold with the longest list of switch makers on this shelf and without the reversed counterpart that a link of this kind cannot work without.

    Module form factor
    SFP, called a mini GBIC in the title — the gigabit cage. The second bullet gives the operating mode as single-mode, LC simplex, bidirectional
    Module rate
    Up to 1.25 Gbit/s — stated in the title and in the fourth bullet, and repeated in the seventh as a maximum data rate of 1.25 Gbps. The eighth bullet names IEEE 802.3z as the gigabit standard it meets
    Optical or copper medium
    Optical — the sixth bullet calls it a plug and play fibre connection, and the second names a single-mode simplex LC port
    Fibre type
    Single-mode — stated in the title and in the second bullet. The grade is not published on the listing: no OS1 or OS2 designation appears, and the maker gives a pair of wavelengths and a distance instead
    Stated reach
    Up to 20 km — stated in the title and in the fourth bullet, which prints the rate and the distance in the same line
    Connector type
    LC simplex — a single position rather than a duplex pair, stated in the title and in the second bullet, because both directions travel on the same strand of glass
    Wavelength
    Tx 1310 nm and Rx 1550 nm — stated in the title and in the third bullet. A module with those two reversed has to sit at the far end, and the listing does not say whether one is supplied, sold beside it or left to the buyer to find
    Vendor coding stated
    Twenty-two makers are listed in the first bullet — Ubiquiti, Allied Telesis, Allnet, CISCO, D-Link, Edimax, Intellinet, KTI Networks, Level One, PLANET, Tenda, TP-Link, TRENDnet, ZyXEL, ZTE, Avaya, Mikrotik, ENTERASYS, FINISAR, FORCE 10, RIVERSTONE and Fortinet. No coding scheme and no part number is named against any of them
    Operating temperature range
    0 °C to +70 °C — stated in the fifth bullet as the operating temperature range

  • DIGITUS 10-inch twelve-port shielded Cat 6A patch panel in a black metal housing

    DIGITUS 10-inch 1U twelve-port Cat 6A shielded panel, 500 MHz, PoE+ rated

    The only 10-inch panel in this hub, and the only listing anywhere on this shelf that publishes mating cycles, pull load, dielectric strength, insulation resistance and contact resistance.

    Port count
    Twelve — stated in the title and in the second bullet, which describes the housing and the IDC strips of a 12-port panel
    Rack units
    1U — stated in the title. The first bullet gives the width as the 10-inch standard for rack mounting in a matching network cabinet, which is the narrower of the two rack conventions and the only one of its kind on this shelf
    Termination method
    Insulation-displacement strips — named in the second bullet for mounting fixed installation cable, and detailed in the fourth, which says patching follows EIA/TIA 568 A and B with the strips colour-coded accordingly and accepts network cable of AWG 22 to 26 in both solid and stranded conductors
    Category rating
    Cat 6A, Class EA — stated in the title and in the first bullet. The third gives 500 MHz and 10GBASE-T, names PoE+ to IEEE 802.3at, and adds backward compatibility with Cat 5e and Cat 6 cable and with PoE to IEEE 802.3af
    Shielded or unshielded
    Shielded — stated in the title, and the second bullet describes a closed metal housing with a central earthing point providing the screening of both the ports and the IDC strips
    Rear management bar
    Not published on the listing — no cable management bar is named at the rear. The second bullet describes the housing and the strips and stops there
    Labelling provision
    Not published on the listing — no labelling strip or marker field is named. The colour coding described in the fourth bullet is on the IDC strips and states a wiring order, which is a different thing from labelling a port
    Fixings supplied
    Not published on the listing — no screws, no cage nuts and no earthing lead are listed. The earthing point is named in the second bullet without saying what connects to it

    • Publishes five electrical figures, which no other panel on this shelf attempts
    • Names PoE+ by its standard number rather than saying the panel supports power
    • A 10-inch panel does not fit a 19-inch cabinet, and the title is the only place that says so

    Best for: A small 10-inch wall cabinet in a flat or a home office, where twelve ports is the whole installation and the panel has to be screened end to end.

  • DIGITUS Cat 6A shielded field-terminated RJ45 plug in nickel-plated zinc

    DIGITUS Cat 6A field-terminated plug, AWG 27/7 to 22/1, cable 5.0-9.0 mm, pack of 10

    The plug here with the widest published sheath window, 5.0 to 9.0 mm, terminated without tools onto solid or stranded conductors alike — and the only one on this shelf to publish an operating temperature range.

    Category rating
    Cat 6A — stated in the title and the first bullet, with transmission to 10 Gigabit per second and suitability for PoE applications up to PoE+, named as IEEE802.3at
    Solid or stranded compatibility
    Both — stated in the second bullet as a toolless termination for solid and stranded conductors, colour-coded to EIA/TIA 568 A and B. The gauge notation carries the same answer: the suffix on 27/7 is a stranded bundle and the suffix on 22/1 a single core
    Shielded or unshielded
    Shielded — stated in the fifth bullet, which names a nickel-plated zinc die-cast metal housing with strain relief and cable fixing providing a 360-degree screen
    Accepted conductor diameter
    AWG 27/7 to 22/1 — stated in the second bullet. The window covers stranded and solid at once because the figure after each stroke is the conductor count. No millimetre figure is given for the conductor itself
    Accepted cable diameter
    5.0 to 9.0 mm — stated in the fourth bullet as the sheath diameters the plug will take. It is the widest of the three outside-diameter windows published on this shelf
    Load bar presence
    Not published on the listing — the second bullet describes a toolless termination with the conductors laid to a printed colour order, and names no separate lacing insert
    Pass-through or standard body
    Neither — the first and third bullets call it a field-terminated plug, assembled without tools for repair, maintenance or joining two installation cables. Nothing describes a crimp, and nothing describes conductors leaving the front
    Pack quantity
    Ten — stated in the title
    Amazon reference
    B0CX23DJ6R (same reference on 6 Amazon marketplaces)
    EAN
    4016032495116
    • Publishes both conductor constructions and both gauge ends in one notation
    • The sheath window is the widest here, and it is the dimension most plugs leave out
    • Ten plugs at this price is the dearest per end on the shelf after one outlier

    Best for: A repair or a joint on an existing run, where the plug has to go on in place and the cable might be either construction.
