Network Cable Digitus CAT 6 U/UTP RJ-45 5m Blue

The DIGITUS Category 6 U/UTP RJ-45 patch cord (5 m) is a high-performance network cable designed for structured cabling systems. It is built to meet ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications, providing tested performance up to 250 MHz. The cable features copper conductors, LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and low smoke emission, and transparent red-colored RJ-45 plugs for quick identification of Category 6 connections. The cable supports PoE+ and 10GBase-T applications where applicable.

Advantages

The patch cord offers certified Category 6 performance including NEXT characteristics, molded boots with kink protection and strain relief, and latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage. Gold-plated contacts and U/UTP construction help ensure reliable signal transmission and durability. Its blue jacket and colored transparent connectors make installation and cable management easier in multi-cable environments.

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other RJ-45 connector to the target device (PC, IP phone, access point). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and route the cable to avoid sharp bends or strain. The molded boot provides kink protection; avoid excessive pulling force on the cable to preserve performance and the integrity of the latch protection.

Recommendations

Use this DIGITUS Cat 6 U/UTP patch cord within a properly installed Category 6 cabling channel. For optimal performance in 10GBase-T applications, ensure the entire link and patching infrastructure meet Category 6 or higher specifications and maintain recommended bend radius and installation practices.
