DIGITUS installation cable - CAT6 - U/UTP - 500m - purple Dca

The Digitus Network Cable CAT 6 U/UTP 500m in violet is a 500-meter bulk installation cable designed for structured cabling in commercial and residential networks. It conforms to established installation standards and supports high-speed data transmission up to 1 Gbit/s with a 250 MHz transmission frequency. The cable uses an unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) design and carries a CPR class Dca fire rating for building installations, making it suitable for horizontal and vertical cabling runs in data centers, offices and multi-dwelling units.

Advantages

This CAT 6 U/UTP cable provides stable gigabit Ethernet performance with PoE and PoE+ support, enabling network power delivery to compatible devices without separate power lines. The 500 m bulk length reduces the need for frequent joins and simplifies large cabling projects. The violet jacket helps with colour-coding and easy identification of network segments. Compliance with international standards and GHMT certification ensures consistent electrical characteristics and reliable transmission for analog and digital signals.

Suitable for

• Structured building cabling according to ISO/IEC 11801 and related standards
• Office and data center horizontal and vertical runs
• Gigabit Ethernet networks and PoE/PoE+ powered devices
• Long uninterrupted installation runs where a 500 m bulk reel is preferred

How to use

Route the 500 m cable reel through cable trays, conduits or ceiling voids as required for the installation plan. Terminate the U/UTP conductors with appropriate Cat 6 RJ45 connectors or patch panels using correct pair untwisting and alignment practices to maintain category performance. Test each run with a cable certifier to verify performance up to 250 MHz and confirm PoE delivery where applicable. Follow local building codes and safety procedures when installing in occupied spaces.

Recommendations

For best results, maintain recommended bend radius and avoid excessive pulling tension during installation. Use colour-coded cabling schemes to simplify network management and label both ends of each run. Validate installations with certification testing and document results for future troubleshooting and upgrades.
