Patch cable DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim, 2 m, blue — pack of 10

DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim, 2 m, blue — pack of 10 are ten 2-metre unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet patch cables designed for Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling where space is limited. The slim outer diameter and flexible jacket reduce bulk at patch panels and switch ports while maintaining CAT6 performance up to 250 MHz and transmission speeds up to 1 Gbit/s. Each cable features stranded AWG 32/7 copper conductors, molded strain relief with anti-kink sleeve and locking lever protection, and is supplied in DIGITUS hangtag packaging for convenient handling and deployment.

Advantages

The reduced total diameter of approximately 2.7 mm and a flexible LSZH jacket make the cables easy to route in high-density or confined installations without sacrificing transmission characteristics required for Gigabit Ethernet. Compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173 CAT6 standards ensures interoperability and consistent performance in office, home and data center environments. The cables support PoE and PoE+ thanks to pure copper conductors and provide a high mating cycle durability rated to industry test standards.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and high-density rack installations where space is limited
• Office desktop and floor connections for Gigabit Ethernet
• Home network connections and residential structured cabling
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links within 1 Gbit/s networks

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router, patch panel or network interface) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the connected device. Ensure the locking clip fully engages to secure the connection and route the cable following recommended bend radius guidelines to avoid tight bends. Use the slim design to organize multiple cables cleanly in patch panels and behind equipment, and verify link speed and PoE behaviour through the connected equipment where necessary.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, avoid repeated sharp bends and excessive tensile stress on the cable; maintain a minimum bending radius of 15 times the outer diameter. Use the slim DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP cables in high-density installations to improve airflow and reduce cable bulk. Test and verify network links after installation and ensure connectors are fully seated. Store unused cables coiled gently to prevent kinking.
