Networking cable DIGITUS Cat6 U/UTP 15 m Green RJ-45 nickel/gold contacts

DIGITUS Cat6 U/UTP 15 m Green RJ-45 nickel/gold contacts is a 15-metre unshielded twisted pair cable designed for standard Gigabit Ethernet connections. The cable uses Cat6 wiring to support reliable data transmission for wired networks and is terminated with RJ-45 plugs on both ends. The green jacket provides easy visual identification for structured cabling in offices, homes or data centres. Contacts on the RJ-45 plugs feature nickel plating with gold-plated contact areas to ensure consistent electrical contact and corrosion resistance where it matters most.

Advantages

This Cat6 U/UTP cable offers consistent performance for 1 Gbps Ethernet links at typical horizontal distances and supports the signal integrity expected from Category 6 cabling. The unshielded construction simplifies installation in standard environments where additional shielding is not required. Factory-terminated RJ-45 connectors reduce setup time and the two-step plating on contacts helps maintain low contact resistance and long-term reliability. The coloured jacket helps with cable management and quick identification among multiple runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, switches and routers within office and home networks
• Horizontal cabling between patch panels and wall outlets in small data closets
• Temporary or permanent network runs where unshielded Cat6 performance is sufficient
• Cabling layouts that require visual colour-coding for easier management

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (Category 6)
• Construction: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair, unshielded cable)
• Length: 15 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Contact plating: nickel with gold-plated contact surfaces
• Jacket colour: green
• Intended use: horizontal Ethernet cabling, Gigabit networks

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (such as a switch, router or network interface on a PC) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the second device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click into place. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and crushing; maintain the cable bend radius recommended for twisted pair cables to preserve signal quality. For installations in multi-cable bundles, verify that ambient conditions and nearby electrical equipment do not introduce excessive interference in unshielded cabling.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6 U/UTP cable for standard Gigabit Ethernet connections up to typical horizontal distances; consider shielded cabling if installation passes near significant sources of electromagnetic interference or in industrial environments. For neat cable management, label both ends and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines.
