Patch cable DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim 3 m, blue

DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim 3 m patch cable in blue is an unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable designed for reliable Gigabit network connections in environments where space is limited. With CAT6 performance up to 250 MHz and a reduced outer diameter of 2.7 mm, this slim cable facilitates neat routing in densely cabled racks, patch panels, switches and consumer network equipment. The cable uses stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors, an HD-PE insulation and LSZH jacket, and it includes a molded strain-relief sleeve and locking lever protection on the RJ45 plug.

Advantages

The slim 2.7 mm diameter and flexible jacket make installation and cable management easier in confined spaces or high-density installations without sacrificing CAT6 performance. The cable supports transmission speeds up to 1 Gbit/s at frequencies up to 250 MHz and is suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) thanks to its pure copper conductors. Compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173 ensures adherence to international structured cabling standards, while flame retardancy and low smoke characteristics enhance safety in mixed office and residential environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems in offices or homes
• Patching between patch panels and network devices in data cabinets
• High-density cabling runs where reduced cable diameter aids routing
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones, cameras and access points

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the network device’s Ethernet port until the locking tab clicks into place. Route the slim patch cable through cable guides, cable ducts or along rack panels to minimize bending and stress; respect the specified bending radius to avoid damage. To disconnect, press the locking lever and gently pull the plug out. The cable is ready to use for connecting network devices, patch panels, switches, routers and PoE-enabled equipment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and excessive tension, maintain the recommended bending radius of 15× the outer diameter, and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic interference sources. Use the slim DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP patch cable for short to medium runs within racks, desks and patch panels; for permanent in-wall installations, select cables specified for structured cabling installation.
