Network Cable Digitus CAT 6 U/UTP patch cord RJ-45 Cat6 5m Red

Network Cable Digitus CAT 6 U/UTP patch cord RJ-45 Cat6 5m Red is a Cat6 patch cable designed for structured cabling and device connections. The 5 m U/UTP cable with copper conductors and RJ-45 connectors supports up to 250 MHz and is PoE+ ready. The transparent red molded plug provides easy identification of Category 6 wiring while the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath ensures reduced smoke and improved fire behaviour.

Advantages

The DIGITUS Category 6 Class E patch cord is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications to ensure compliance with channel requirements. Performance is tested up to 250 MHz including NEXT characteristics. The cable features a molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and latch protection to prevent breaking of the latching lever. U/UTP construction and copper conductors provide reliable signal transmission for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in offices and data centers
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and network devices
• Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) and PoE/PoE+ powered devices
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling

Key specifications

• Length: 5 m
• Category: Cat6 (Class E), 250 MHz
• Cabling: U/UTP
• Conductor: Copper (Cu)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, transparent red molded plug
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on devices such as switches, routers or patch panels until the latch clicks into place. Route the 5 m cable to avoid tight bends and excessive tension; use the integrated kink protection and strain relief to reduce stress at the connector. Verify link status on connected devices and test connectivity and performance using network testing tools if required.

Recommendations

Use this LSZH Cat6 patch cord in installations where fire safety and low smoke emissions are required. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to mains power lines and maintain recommended bend radius; use certified patch panels and connectors for structured cabling systems.
