DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6 - U/UTP - Snagless - Cu - 10m - red

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6 U/UTP RJ-45, 10 m in red is a Category 6 patch cord designed for structured cabling and high-speed Ethernet connections. It meets Category 6 Class E requirements and is manufactured and tested according to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 standards. The cable uses copper conductors, supports PoE+, and is fitted with transparent red RJ-45 plugs for easy identification. The sheath is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) for improved fire performance and reduced smoke emissions.

Advantages

The patch cord provides tested performance up to 250 MHz, including characteristics such as near end cross talk (NEXT). Molded boots with kink protection and strain relief reduce stress on the connector, while an integrated latch protector prevents damage to the latching lever. Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable conductivity and the U/UTP construction minimizes external interference for stable data transmission.

Suitable for

• Structured office and data center cabling
• Gigabit and 10GBase-T Ethernet links (up to supported frequency)
• Power over Ethernet installations (PoE+ ready)
• Patch panels, switches and network devices with RJ-45 ports

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router, patch panel) and the other plug to the endpoint device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and route the cable to avoid sharp bends; use the molded boot and strain relief to reduce mechanical stress. Verify link status on connected devices and, if using PoE, confirm the device supports PoE+ where required.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tight cable loops and electromagnetic interference sources. Use appropriate cable management and ensure cabling runs comply with relevant installation standards. Select the cable color consistently in patching environments to simplify identification.
