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

The DIGITUS Slim CAT 6 U/UTP patch cord (2 m, grey) enables flexible and space-saving cabling in networks. It features a slim outer diameter of 3.65 mm, copper inner conductors and LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) outer sheath for improved fire behaviour and reduced smoke emission. The cable is manufactured to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 CAT 6 standards and was tested for performance up to 250 MHz. Red transparent connectors indicate Category 6 for easy identification while moulded anti-kink sleeves with strain relief protect the locking lever and the cable connection.

Advantages

The slim 3.65 mm diameter provides greater flexibility and easier routing in dense or confined installations without compromising signal performance. LSZH outer sheath minimises toxic and corrosive emission in case of fire. Compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 CAT 6 plus verified performance up to 250 MHz ensure the patch cord meets industry channel specifications. Moulded anti-kink sleeves with strain relief and locking lever protection increase connector durability and reduce the risk of cable damage during use.

Suitable for

• Patching between network switches and patch panels in data centres and server rooms
• Workstation and office network connections where space is limited
• Structured cabling installations requiring Cat 6 performance up to 250 MHz

Key specifications

• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Category: CAT 6 (250 MHz)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Outer diameter: 3.65 mm
• Inner conductors: Copper (Cu)
• Outer sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: Grey (connector transparent red for Cat 6 identification)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to your network device (switch, patch panel or NIC) and the other RJ-45 connector to the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking lever clicks. Route the slim cable carefully through cable ducts or behind equipment, avoiding sharp bends tighter than the cable's bend radius. Use the moulded anti-kink sleeve to reduce stress at the connector and avoid pulling on the cable jacket when disconnecting.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep patch cord lengths as short as practical within the channel and avoid running unshielded U/UTP cables parallel and close to high-voltage power lines or strong electromagnetic sources. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace cables showing visible wear.
