Patch cable DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim, 2 m, yellow

DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim patch cable, 2 m, yellow is an unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable designed to deliver CAT6 performance for network connections up to 1 Gbit/s. The slim design with a total diameter of approximately 2.7 mm and a flexible LSZH jacket allows routing in confined spaces, behind patch panels and inside cable ducts. The cable uses stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors and HD-PE insulation, with molded RJ45 plugs and strain relief to reduce connector stress and improve durability.

Advantages

The slim 2.7 mm diameter and flexible jacket make this cable suitable for high-density cabling and tight installations while maintaining CAT6 transmission characteristics up to 250 MHz. It supports PoE and PoE+ thanks to pure copper conductors and meets international standards for structured cabling, providing consistent electrical performance, low smoke and halogen-free material properties, and a protective anti-kink sleeve on the plugs.

Suitable for

• Office workstations and desktop connections
• Patch panels and switch-to-switch interconnections in high-density racks
• Home networks and multimedia streaming
• Environments that require space-saving cable routing in ducts or trunking

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (router, switch or network interface) and the other to the workstation, patch panel or endpoint device. Ensure the locking tab clicks into place to secure the connection and avoid sharp bends at the connector by using the molded anti-kink sleeve as strain relief. Route the cable through ducts or behind equipment, observing the recommended bending radius to maintain signal integrity and avoid excessive mechanical stress.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within standard Ethernet length limits, avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended distances, and maintain the specified bending radius. Use the slim DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP cable where space-saving and flexibility are required, and verify PoE power budgets on connected devices before full deployment.
