Patch cable DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim, 5 m, gray — pack of 10

DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim, 5 m, gray — pack of 10 contains ten slim unshielded twisted-pair patch cables designed for Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling. Each 5 m cable uses stranded bare copper conductors, LSZH outer jacket and RJ45 terminations. The reduced outer diameter and flexible jacket simplify routing through dense cable channels, patch panels and cramped installations while meeting CAT6 performance up to 250 MHz.

Advantages

The slim 2.7 mm cable diameter and flexible jacket enable space-saving installation in high-density environments and improve bend management around panels and cable trays. Stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors provide reliable signal transmission and PoE/PoE+ compatibility. Molded anti-kink sleeves with strain relief and locking lever protection reduce mechanical stress at the connector and increase service life. Manufactured to ISO/IEC and EN standards, the cables deliver consistent CAT6 performance for horizontal and patch connections.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Office network patching and desk connections
• Data center or server-rack patch panels with high cable density
• Home network installations and media hubs
• Horizontal cabling in open-plan offices and telecom closets

How to use

Connect one end of the DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim patch cable to the RJ45 port of your network device and the other end to a switch, patch panel or wall outlet following the 1:1 pin assignment. Route the slim cables through cable trays, channels or behind cabinets, observing the recommended bending radius to avoid excessive stress. Use the molded strain relief and locking lever protection to secure connections and prevent accidental disconnection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and maintain the specified bending radius. Separate power and high-interference sources where possible and follow standard cabling practices (EIA/TIA 568B) when deploying multiple cables in patch panels or horizontal runs. The LSZH jacket is suitable for indoor installations and environments where reduced smoke emission is required.
