DIGITUS Patch cable Copper conductor - CAT6 - U/UTP - Snagless - 1.5m - Grey

The DIGITUS Patch cord CAT 6 U/UTP LSZH 1.5m is a Category 6 network cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections up to 250 MHz. It uses copper conductors and unshielded U/UTP construction to deliver consistent data transmission, and its LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. The connector housings are transparent red for easy identification of Category 6 cables, and the cable is PoE+ ready for powering compatible devices.

Advantages

Manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications, this patch cord provides verified performance including NEXT characteristics up to 250 MHz. It features a molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector to prevent the latching lever from breaking. The LSZH outer jacket improves fire behaviour and reduces harmful emissions, while copper conductors ensure stable conductivity. The transparent red RJ-45 plug allows quick visual identification of Category 6 cabling.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in offices and data centers
• Ethernet connections for desktops, switches and routers
• Environments requiring low smoke and zero halogen materials (LSZH)
• Power over Ethernet deployments (PoE+ compatible)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other RJ-45 plug to the intended port on the opposite device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and avoid tight bends near the molded boot to preserve kink protection. For PoE applications, verify that both the supplying device and the powered device support PoE+ and that cable length and installation meet the system requirements.

Recommendations

For best performance, install the patch cord within a structured cabling channel tested to Category 6 specifications and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines. Replace damaged connectors or jackets to maintain signal integrity and safety.
