Patch cable DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim, 0.5 m, blue

DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim patch cable, 0.5 m, blue is an unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet patch lead designed for short connections between switches, patch panels and end devices. With CAT6 performance up to 250 MHz and support for Gigabit Ethernet, this slim flat cable offers space-saving routing in high-density installations while keeping standard RJ45 compatibility and solid mechanical protection at the connectors.

Advantages

The cable features a reduced outer diameter (approx. 2.7 mm) and a flexible LSZH jacket that simplifies installation in confined spaces and congested patch panels. Stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors and HD-PE insulation provide the flexibility and electrical characteristics required for PoE and PoE+ applications. Molded anti-kink sleeves with strain relief and locking lever protection reduce the risk of connector damage and locking failures during regular use.

Suitable for

• Short horizontal links between switches and patch panels in offices
• Connections between networking equipment and wall outlets in homes
• High-density cabling routes where space is limited
• Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) enabled devices such as IP phones and cameras

Key specifications

• Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (U-UTP), slim design

• Durability: approx. 750 mating cycles

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plugs into the corresponding network ports of switches, patch panels or devices until the locking lever clicks. Route the slim cable along cable trays, behind equipment or inside patch panels using its small diameter to reduce congestion. When disconnecting, press the locking tab to release the connector and pull by the connector body or strain relief instead of the cable jacket to avoid damage.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid sharp bends and maintain the recommended bending radius. Use these slim CAT6 patch cables for short link lengths where space is limited; for longer horizontal runs, use permanently installed solid-core cabling rated for in-wall use. Verify PoE power budgets for powered devices and ensure connectors are properly seated to maintain reliable Gigabit connections.
