Patch cable DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP Slim, 5 m, blue, pack of 10

The DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP Slim patch cable set contains ten 5 m blue unshielded twisted-pair cables designed for networks requiring CAT 6 performance. Each cable features a slim outer diameter and a flexible jacket, reducing space consumption in patch panels, cable channels and crowded racks. The set supports Ethernet transmission up to 1 Gbit/s at a frequency of up to 250 MHz and is suitable for structured cabling in offices, data centers and home networks.

Advantages

Slim cable diameter (approx. 2.7 mm) and stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors provide high flexibility for easy routing in confined spaces while maintaining PoE and PoE+ compatibility. Molded anti-kink sleeves with strain relief and locking-lever protection protect connectors from damage and accidental release. The cables are manufactured to international cabling standards to ensure consistent performance and long service life.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office or data center environments
• Wiring workstations and telecommunication outlets in open-plan or small offices
• Home network installations where space-saving cable routing is required
• High-density cabling installations and patch panels with limited clearance

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the corresponding socket on switches, routers, patch panels or network devices until the locking lever snaps into place. Route the slim cable through cable channels, trays or behind equipment, observing the recommended bending radius to avoid kinks. When disconnecting, press the locking lever and pull the plug straight out to avoid stressing the connector. For installations with multiple cables, use the compact profile to minimize space usage in patch panels.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, maintain the specified bending radius and avoid tight bends or sharp edges. Use LSZH cable routing in enclosed public or commercial buildings to reduce smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. For PoE or PoE+ applications ensure connections and power budgets of network equipment meet the required specifications.
