Network patch cable DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim, 2 m, gray, pack of 10

DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim patch cable, 2 m, gray, pack of 10 is a slim-profile unshielded Ethernet lead designed for 1 Gbps networks and structured cabling. With stranded AWG 32/7 copper conductors and a total diameter of approximately 2.7 mm, the cable supports data transmission up to 250 MHz while offering flexibility and reduced space consumption in patch panels, cable ducts and high-density installations. Each cable features a molded anti-kink sleeve, strain relief and locking lever protection on standard RJ45 plugs. Delivered as a set of ten cables in DIGITUS hangtag packaging, this product meets common cabling standards for reliable office and home network connections.

Advantages

The slim 2.7 mm diameter and flexible jacket enable neat routing and save space in crowded racks and patch panels without sacrificing CAT6 performance. The stranded copper conductors provide bending resilience and easy handling for repeated reconfiguration. Compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173 CAT6 specifications, plus flame retardant and low-smoke materials, ensures that the cables meet international installation and safety requirements. The RJ45 plugs include strain relief and locking lever protection to reduce connector damage and maintain secure terminations.

Suitable for

• Connections between switches, routers and patch panels in office networks
• Home network wiring for gigabit Ethernet (LAN)
• High-density installations and confined cable ducts where space is limited
• PoE and PoE+ enabled devices such as access points and IP phones

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router, patch panel or wall socket) and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure the locking tab clicks into place to maintain a secure connection and route the cable following existing cable management practices to avoid sharp bends; observe the recommended bending radius of 15 times the outer diameter. For installations with high cable density, use the slim profile to route multiple cables neatly through ducts and panels. Test network links with an appropriate cable tester after installation to confirm continuity and transmission performance.

Recommendations

Use these CAT6 U-UTP Slim cables for standard gigabit Ethernet and PoE deployments where space savings and flexibility are important. Avoid repeated sharp kinks and do not exceed the specified operating temperature range. When planning installations in cabinets or ducts, allow for the bending radius and secure cables with appropriate organizers to maintain signal integrity and prolong connector life.
