Patch cable DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim, 3 m, red, pack of 10

DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim patch cables, 3 m, red, pack of 10 provide CAT6 performance in a space-saving slim design for Ethernet connections up to 1 Gbit/s and 250 MHz. These unshielded twisted-pair cables use stranded copper conductors and a flexible jacket to allow easy routing in confined spaces such as patch panels, cable ducts and behind workstations. Each cable features a molded anti-kink sleeve with strain relief and locking lever protection for reliable connector retention and reduced risk of damage during installation and daily use.

Advantages

The slim outer diameter of approximately 2.7 mm and flexible LSZH jacket enable high cabling density and tidy installations where space is limited. Constructed with AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors and HD-PE insulation, the cables support PoE and PoE+ applications while maintaining mechanical flexibility and compliance with international CAT6 standards. Flame retardant and low-smoke properties reduce risks in enclosed environments and the RJ45 molded plugs are designed for extended service life.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office or data cabinet environments
• Desk-level connections for workstations and VoIP phones
• High-density cabling runs in comms racks and cable trays
• Home networks where space-saving and flexible cabling is required

How to use

Route the 3 m DIGITUS CAT6 Slim patch cable between network ports such as switch-to-patch panel or switch-to-workstation, ensuring the cable is not bent tighter than the specified bending radius. Insert the RJ45 plug until the locking tab engages and confirm a secure connection. For installations in high-density areas, use the slim cables to minimize overcrowding and facilitate air circulation within racks and cabinets. When using Power over Ethernet, verify connected devices are PoE- or PoE+-compatible and observe power budget limitations of your network equipment.

Recommendations

To maintain signal integrity and prolong service life, avoid sharp bends and repeated strain at the connector; secure cables with appropriate routing accessories and keep separation from high-voltage power lines. Use the slim CAT6 cables in environments where space efficiency is important and replace cables that show visible damage to jacket or connectors.
