Patch cable CAT6 U-UTP slim 2 m black, DIGITUS 10-pack

DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP slim patch cable, 2 m length, black, supplied as a 10-piece pack. This unshielded U-UTP patch cable supports CAT6 performance with transmission frequencies up to 250 MHz and data rates up to 1 Gbit/s. The slim outer diameter and flexible jacket make the cable suitable for dense cabling environments such as patched racks, office cabling ducts and home network installations. Each lead features stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors, molded strain relief and locking-lever protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation and operation.

Advantages

The slim 2.7 mm diameter reduces space requirements in cable channels and patch panels and improves bend flexibility for easier routing in confined areas. Compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173 CAT6 standards ensures consistent electrical performance for structured cabling. LSZH jacket material limits toxic smoke in case of fire, and the cables support PoE and PoE+ thanks to pure copper conductors. Durable molded RJ45 plugs and strain relief extend service life and help prevent locking tab breakage.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in offices and data cabinets
• High-density rack and patch panel environments where space is limited
• Home network connections for PCs, media devices and smart home equipment
• Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) applications with compatible devices

How to use

Insert each RJ45 plug into the corresponding network port on switches, routers, patch panels or end devices until the locking lever clicks. Route cables through cable ducts or around rack management elements, respecting the minimum bending radius (15× outer diameter) to avoid degrading signal performance. For PoE applications ensure connected devices are PoE/PoE+ compatible and that power budgets comply with device specifications. Avoid tight kinks and prolonged mechanical stress on the connectors and strain relief during installation.

Recommendations

For best long-term performance, keep the cable length within standard channel limits for CAT6 installations, avoid exceeding recommended bend radius and separate data cables from strong electrical interference sources where possible. Use the slim DIGITUS CAT6 cables in high-density racks or busy patch panels to save space while maintaining 1 Gbit/s network performance.
