Network Cable Digitus CAT 6 U/UTP 0.5m RJ-45 Black

Future-oriented standards and high-end quality for your network. The DIGITUS® Category 6 U/UTP patch cord, 0.5 m, with RJ-45 connectors is designed for reliable high-speed data transmission up to 250 MHz. The cable uses copper conductors and a LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and reduced smoke emissions. A transparent red coloured plug allows quick visual identification of Category 6 cables. The product is PoE+ ready and suitable for common 10/100/1000Base-T(X) network applications.

Advantages

The cable is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications, ensuring compliance with ISO & EN channel requirements and stable performance including NEXT characteristics up to 250 MHz. The molded boot provides kink protection and strain relief, while an integrated latch protection reduces the risk of connector latch breakage. U/UTP construction and copper conductors minimise interference and support consistent signal quality.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in data cabinets and workstations
• Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T(X)) links
• Environments requiring PoE+ power delivery
• Installations where LSZH sheathing is required for fire safety

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plugs to the network ports of devices such as switches, routers or network interfaces. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Use the 0.5 m patch cord for short link runs between patch panels, switches and nearby endpoints. Avoid excessive bending at the boot area and allow the molded kink protection to sit naturally to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, route the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid tight bends (respect the cable's minimum bend radius). Use LSZH cabling where building regulations or safety considerations require low smoke and halogen-free materials.
