Patch cable CAT 6 U-UTP Slim, DIGITUS DK-1618-010S-G-10 — 1 m, green, pack of 10

DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP Slim patch cables DK-1618-010S-G-10 are a pack of ten 1 m unshielded Ethernet leads in green designed for Gigabit Ethernet networks. With CAT 6 performance up to 250 MHz and stranded AWG 32/7 pure copper conductors, these slim patch cables are intended for short patching runs, patch panels, switches and wall ports where reduced cable diameter and flexibility are required. The cables comply with ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173 CAT 6 standards and include a molded anti-kink sleeve with strain relief and locking-lever protection to reduce connector damage during handling.

Advantages

The slim outer diameter of approximately 2.7 mm and a flexible LSZH jacket enable tidy, space-saving installations in high-density cabling areas. Designed for reliable data transmission, the cables support transmission speeds up to 1 Gbit/s at frequencies to 250 MHz and are suitable for PoE and PoE+ thanks to pure copper conductors. Compliance with international cabling standards and flame/smoke test requirements provides predictable performance and safety in office and residential environments.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and high-density racks where space is limited
• Interconnecting switches and wall outlets in office and home networks
• Short patch runs in data cabinets and telecommunication enclosures
• PoE and PoE+ devices such as VoIP phones and access points

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router, patch panel or wall socket) and the other plug to the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking lever engages. Route the slim cable along cable guides or through cable management trays to maintain the recommended bending radius and avoid tight bends that may affect performance. When disconnecting, press the locking lever and pull the molded sleeve instead of pulling the cable jacket to reduce strain on the connector.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable lengths for critical links as short as practical and avoid running the patch cables parallel to power cables for long distances. Use the slim DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP cables in dense patching areas to improve airflow and reduce clutter; inspect connectors periodically and replace any cable showing visible damage or poor mating performance.
