Patch cable DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim, 1.5 m, red, pack of 10

DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim patch cable set includes ten slim, unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet cables, each 1.5 m long and finished in red. Designed for Gigabit Ethernet networks, these patch cords meet CAT6 performance with a transmission frequency up to 250 MHz and support for 1 Gbit/s data rates. The reduced outer diameter and flexible jacket make them suitable for dense cabling situations such as patch panels, cable ducts, racks and desktop connections while maintaining standards compliance for structured cabling.

Advantages

The slim design with a total diameter of approximately 2.7 mm and stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors offers improved flexibility for routing in confined spaces and cable management systems. Molded anti-kink sleeves with strain relief and locking lever protection reduce the risk of connector damage and broken latches during installation and daily use. LSZH outer casing and compliance with relevant international standards ensure low smoke emission and fire-retardant behavior in typical indoor environments.

Suitable for

• Office horizontal cabling and patch panels
• Home networks and desktop connections
• High-density installations in racks and cable ducts
• Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) enabled devices

How to use

Connect one end of the RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router, patch panel or wall outlet) and the other end to the target device (PC, access point, IP phone or PoE device). Route the slim cables through cable ducts, behind racks or along desks, taking advantage of the reduced diameter to reduce congestion. Ensure the molded strain relief and latch protection are intact and fully engaged in the connector port to maintain a secure connection.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer recommended bending radius (15× outer diameter). Use these slim CAT6 cables where cable density is high and where space-saving routing is required. When used for PoE applications, verify device power budgets and grounding practices in the installation environment.
