Network Cable Digitus CAT 6A U/UTP Slim Patch Cord RJ-45 Cat6a 2m Grey

The DIGITUS CAT 6A U/UTP slim patch cord (2 m, grey) provides space-saving, flexible cabling for structured networks. With a small outer diameter (3.65 mm) and a flexible LSZH outer sheath, the cable offers good fire behaviour and low smoke emission. The cable uses copper conductors and a transparent yellow RJ-45 plug for easy identification of Category 6A (500 MHz). It is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6A specifications, with performance verified up to 500 MHz including characteristics such as near-end crosstalk (NEXT). A molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and latch protection reduces the risk of connector damage.

Advantages

The slim 3.65 mm diameter and flexible sheath simplify routing in tight spaces and dense patch panels. LSZH outer jacket reduces halogen emissions and smoke in case of fire. Category 6A construction and compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 ensure channel-level performance up to 500 MHz. Molded boots with kink protection and latch protection improve connector durability and reliability during installation and operation.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• High-speed Ethernet connections (up to Cat6A / 500 MHz) in offices and data centers
• Dense patch panel and rack installations where space-saving cables are required
• Horizontal cabling runs between switches, patch panels and active equipment
• Environments requiring low-smoke, low-halogen cabling

Key specifications

• Length: 2 m
• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Category: Cat 6A / Class EA, tested to 500 MHz
• Outer diameter: 3.65 mm
• Conductor: Copper (Cu)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, transparent yellow plug (Category 6A identification)
• Outer sheath: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Colour: Grey (cable) with transparent yellow connector

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plugs to the network ports of devices, switches or patch panels. Route the slim patch cord through cable management channels or between rack spaces, taking advantage of the reduced diameter for tight bends. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and the latch engages; the molded boot with strain relief reduces stress at the connector during movement. Avoid sharp kinks or crushing the cable to maintain specified performance.

Recommendations

For best results in high-density installations, use these slim Cat6A patch cords to reduce cable bulk and improve airflow. Verify channel compliance by testing end-to-end after installation and avoid routing alongside high-voltage power lines to minimize interference.
