Patch cable DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP Slim, 2 m, gray

DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP Slim patch cable, 2 m, gray is an unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable designed for Gigabit networks and CAT 6 performance. The slim design with a reduced outer diameter and flexible jacket makes this 2 m patch cable suitable for installations with limited space, such as patch panels, switches and wall sockets in offices, server rooms and home networks. The cable uses stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors, RJ45 plugs with molded strain relief and locking lever protection for reliable, plug-and-play connectivity.

Advantages

The slim 2.7 mm outer diameter and flexible jacket simplify routing in high-density cabling environments and behind equipment. CAT 6 performance up to 250 MHz and Gigabit transmission speeds support modern Ethernet applications while the use of pure copper conductors ensures compatibility with PoE and PoE+ devices. Compliance with international wiring and cabling standards provides predictable electrical and mechanical behaviour, and the molded anti-kink sleeve increases connector durability during repeated use.

Suitable for

• Office and enterprise patch panels and switches
• Home network connections and media devices
• High-density cable runs and rack installations
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones and cameras

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to your network device (switch, router, wall socket or network adapter) and the other plug to the corresponding port. Ensure the locking lever fully engages to secure the connection and avoid bending the cable sharply near the connector to prevent stress on the strain relief. The cable is ready for immediate plug-and-play use and requires no additional configuration for standard Ethernet connections.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends below the specified bending radius and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources. Use the slim patch cable where space is limited or in high-density panels to improve airflow and organisation. Verify port assignment and cabling standard compatibility when integrating into structured cabling systems.
