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

DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim 1 m patch cable in gray is an unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet lead designed for Gigabit LAN connections. The cable supports CAT6 performance up to 250 MHz and 1 Gbit/s data rates while offering a reduced outer diameter of 2.7 mm for easier routing in confined spaces. Constructed with stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors, HD-PE insulation and LSZH outer jacket, the cable provides flexibility, PoE/PoE+ compatibility and reliable connector strain relief via a molded anti-kink sleeve and locking lever protection.

Advantages

The slim design with a 2.7 mm total diameter simplifies cable management in high-density racks, patch panels and behind furniture. Full CAT6 performance up to 250 MHz ensures stable Gigabit Ethernet throughput while stranded copper conductors maintain flexibility for frequent installations or moves. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic gases in case of fire, and the molded strain relief and locking lever protection reduce connector damage and accidental disconnections.

Suitable for

• Office network patching and desk connections
• Home networking and multimedia devices
• High-density cabling environments and patch panels
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones and access points

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end of the DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim cable to the Ethernet port of your network device and the other end to the switch, router or patch panel. Ensure the locking lever engages fully to secure the connection and avoid acute bends below the specified bending radius. For installations in cabinets or behind desks, route the slim cable through cable organizers or tie points to maintain order and prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable for Gigabit Ethernet links up to standard horizontal link lengths and avoid sharp bends or kinks. When deploying in PoE applications, confirm that connected devices and power supplies meet PoE/PoE+ specifications. Store unused cables coiled loosely and avoid exceeding the recommended mating cycles to preserve contact reliability.
