Patch cable CAT6 U-UTP DIGITUS 5 m slim, yellow — pack of 10

DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP slim patch cable pack contains ten 5 m yellow unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet cables designed for Gigabit networks. Each cable features a reduced outer diameter and flexible jacket for easy routing in dense cable runs, with RJ45 plugs and molded strain relief to protect the connector and locking tab. The set meets CAT6 wiring standards and supports typical Ethernet applications up to 1 Gbit/s and 250 MHz operation, making it suitable for structured cabling in offices, home networks and other environments where space-saving, flexible patching is required.

Advantages

The slim 2.7 mm cable diameter and flexible jacket enable installation in confined spaces and high-density patch panels while maintaining CAT6 performance. Stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors provide flexibility and durability; the molded anti-kink sleeve with strain relief protects the connector and locking lever. LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, and compliance with ISO/IEC and EN cabling standards ensures predictable performance in structured network installations.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, patch panels and wall outlets in office installations
• Home network connections where flexible, low-profile cabling is desired
• High-density cabling environments such as comms cabinets and server racks
• Power over Ethernet (PoE and PoE+) devices and short-run network connections

How to use

Connect one end of the RJ45 plug to a network device such as a switch, router or wall socket and the other end to the target device or patch panel. Route the slim cable through cable trays, ducts or behind furniture taking advantage of the thin diameter to reduce congestion. Ensure connectors click into place and the molded strain relief is not under tension. For PoE applications, verify that connected equipment supports the required power class and that cable runs conform to distance and installation guidelines for PoE devices.

Recommendations

Use the DIGITUS CAT6 slim patch cables for short to medium in-cabinet and office runs where flexibility and reduced cable diameter matter. Avoid excessive bending below the specified bending radius and protect connectors from mechanical strain. Store unused cables in original packaging to prevent kinks and dust ingress. For permanent horizontal cabling or longer backbone runs, consider solid-core CAT6 cabling designed for fixed installation.
