Patch cable DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim, 5 m, green

DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim patch cable, 5 m, green is an unshielded twisted-pair network cable designed to meet CAT6 performance for Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling. With a slim outer diameter and flexible LSZH jacket, the cable is intended for space-saving installations in offices, homes, patch panels and wall ports. The 5 m length is suitable for connecting switches, routers, PCs and other network devices while supporting transmission frequencies up to 250 MHz and data rates up to 1 Gbit/s.

Advantages

The slim 2.7 mm diameter and flexible jacket allow routing in confined spaces and high-density cabling environments without sacrificing handling or durability. Stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors provide flexibility and PoE/PoE+ compatibility. Molded anti-kink sleeves with strain relief and locking lever protection reduce mechanical stress at the RJ45 connector and help prevent connector damage and accidental unlocking. The cable is manufactured to international structured-cabling standards for predictable electrical and mechanical performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office networks
• Home network connections between routers, PCs and media devices
• High-density cabling runs where space is limited (cabinets, ducting, wall ports)
• Power over Ethernet installations supporting PoE and PoE+

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the corresponding network port until the locking tab clicks into place. Route the cable along cable trays, inside ducts or behind furniture using the slim, flexible jacket to minimize bending stress; maintain a bending radius of at least 15× the outer diameter to preserve signal integrity. For PoE devices, verify that the connected equipment supports required power levels before applying power. To disconnect, press the locking lever and pull the connector straight out to avoid strain on the cable and connector.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tight sharp bends, prolonged compression and placement near strong electromagnetic sources. Use the DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim patch cable for short to medium-length runs in structured cabling and label both ends in patch panels or wall ports to simplify maintenance and future changes.
