Patch cable DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP Slim, 3 m, black — pack of 10

DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP Slim patch cables, 3 m length, black, pack of 10 provide CAT 6 performance in a reduced-diameter design for structured cabling and Gigabit Ethernet. These unshielded twisted pair cables support transmission frequencies up to 250 MHz and data rates up to 1 Gbit/s. The slim outer jacket (approx. 2.7 mm) and flexible stranded conductors are intended to minimize cable bulk in patch panels, cable trays and other high-density installations while remaining compatible with standard RJ45 connections and EIA/TIA wiring.

Advantages

The slim design reduces cable congestion and improves airflow in racks and panels without sacrificing standard CAT 6 electrical performance. Stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors and HD-PE insulation provide flexibility and durability for frequent rearrangements. Molded anti-kink sleeves with strain relief and locking lever protection reduce mechanical stress at the connector and help prevent damage during insertion and removal. The cables are manufactured to international cabling standards to ensure predictable behavior in typical Ethernet and PoE/PoE+ applications.

Suitable for

• Connections between switches, patch panels and network devices in office and data center racks
• Home and small business Gigabit Ethernet links where space is limited
• High-density cabling installations and cable management systems
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones, access points and cameras

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network switch, patch panel or endpoint and the other plug to the corresponding port on the device. Ensure the locking lever snaps into place to secure the connection and avoid bending the cable sharply at the connector—observe the specified bending radius to maintain signal quality. Use cable management guides or Velcro ties to route multiple slim cables neatly and avoid excessive tensile stress on the connectors.

Recommendations

For high-density installations, route cables through designated ducts or horizontal cable managers to take advantage of the slim diameter; when using PoE or PoE+ devices, verify that power budget and temperature conditions of the installation meet device requirements. Avoid running unshielded cables in parallel with large electrical power mains to reduce potential interference.
