Patch cable DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim 0.5 m red — 10 pcs

DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim 0.5 m red — 10 pcs is a set of ten slim unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet patch cables designed for CAT6 networks. Each 0.5 m cable features a reduced outer diameter and a flexible jacket that enable neat, space-saving routing in dense patch panels, server racks, wall ports and workstation connections. The cables support transmission frequencies up to 250 MHz and data rates suitable for Gigabit Ethernet, while molded strain relief and locking lever protection reduce the risk of connector damage during repeated use.

Advantages

The slim cable profile (approx. 2.7 mm total diameter) and flexible stranded AWG 32/7 copper conductors provide easy installation in confined spaces and high-density cabling environments. LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in the event of fire. The cables meet recognized CAT6 cabling standards for consistent performance and are compatible with PoE and PoE+ applications thanks to pure copper conductors.

Suitable for

• Short patching between switches, patch panels and wall ports
• Server racks and data cabinets with high port density
• Office and home workstations where tidy cabling is required
• Structured cabling installations conforming to CAT6 standards

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network switch, patch panel or wall outlet and the other plug to the device or port to be linked. Ensure the locking lever clicks into place to secure the connection and route the slim cable through cable management channels or along rack panels to maintain order. For high-density installations, position cables to avoid sharp bends and respect the recommended bending radius to preserve signal integrity.

Recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, avoid routing the slim patch cables parallel and close to high-voltage power lines for extended runs. Use the 0.5 m cables for short interconnections within racks or between nearby ports; for longer connections select a longer CAT6 cable to maintain margin. Inspect connectors periodically and replace any cable showing visible damage or degraded locking tabs.
