Patch cable DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim, 1 m, blue

DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim patch cable, 1 m in blue, is an unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet lead designed for CAT6 installations. The cable supports transmission up to 1 Gbit/s and frequencies up to 250 MHz, with a reduced outer diameter of 2.7 mm and a flexible jacket for space-saving cable routing. It features stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors, RJ45 plugs with molded strain relief and locking-lever protection, and is manufactured to international cabling standards for reliable network performance in offices, homes and high-density racks.

Advantages

The slim design with a 2.7 mm total diameter provides high flexibility and enables tidy cable management in confined spaces such as patch panels, server cabinets and wall outlets. Compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173 CAT6 standards ensures consistent performance for Gigabit Ethernet and PoE/PoE+ applications using pure copper conductors. The molded anti-kink sleeve and strain-relief protect the connector and reduce the risk of damage during frequent handling and installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office networks
• Home network installations and broadband connections
• High-density cabling environments where space is limited
• Power over Ethernet (PoE and PoE+) device connections

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the corresponding port on a switch, router, patch panel or network device until the locking lever engages. Route the slim cable through cable management channels, under floor ducts or along wall outlets to minimize bend stress; observe the recommended bending radius of 15 times the outer diameter. For PoE devices ensure both ends are properly seated and compatible with the power requirements of connected equipment.

Recommendations

For reliable installation, avoid tight bends and sharp kinks, maintain separation from high-voltage power cables where possible, and verify connectors after installation. Use the slim DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP cable in high-density installations to improve airflow and organization while ensuring compliance with network and PoE requirements.
