DIGITUS Patch cable - CAT6 - U/UTP - Snagless - Cu - 2m - grey

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 6 U/UTP RJ-45 2m in grey is a Category 6 patch cord designed for structured cabling systems and high-speed Ethernet connections up to 250 MHz. It features copper conductors, RJ-45 connectors on both ends and an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath to reduce smoke and harmful gases in case of fire. The transparent red connector makes Category 6 identification easy, and the cable supports PoE+ power delivery.

Advantages

This CAT 6 U/UTP cable is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications to ensure channel compliance and reliable performance, including NEXT characteristics up to 250 MHz. The molded boot provides kink protection, strain relief and a latch protection to prevent the latching lever from breaking. The LSZH sheath improves fire behaviour and reduces smoke and halogen emissions.

Suitable for

• 10/100/1000Base-T(X) Ethernet connections
• Structured cabling in offices and homes
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones, cameras and access points
• Patching between switches, patch panels and network devices

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other end into the switch, patch panel or router. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable without tight bends and avoid kinking; use the molded boot and strain relief to reduce stress at the connector. For structured installations, measure and label cables as required before final routing.

Recommendations

Use this DIGITUS CAT 6 U/UTP patch cord for short to medium runs (such as desk-to-switch or patch panel connections) within structured cabling systems. Avoid exposure to prolonged sunlight or extreme mechanical stress and follow local cabling and fire safety regulations when installing LSZH cables.
