Patch Cable Digitus UTP CAT6 PVC 2M White

The Digitus Patch Cable UTP CAT6 PVC 2M White is a 2-metre unshielded twisted pair network cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in home and office environments. With a PVC outer jacket and a white finish, the cable offers straightforward installation and an unobtrusive appearance for visible runs. It is built to support Gigabit Ethernet speeds and to maintain signal integrity across short to medium-length connections.

Advantages

This CAT6 patch cable uses four twisted pairs (AWG 26/7) and meets CAT6 performance class certification, providing improved crosstalk and system noise resistance compared with lower-category cables. The moulded boot includes kink protection and strain relief to reduce connector stress and extend connector life. A 1:1 wiring scheme ensures compatibility with standard RJ45 ports and typical networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, routers and other network devices within homes or small offices
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet connections in LAN racks and cabinets
• Temporary or permanent horizontal runs where a clean, white cable appearance is preferred

When it may not be suitable

The cable is unshielded (UTP), so it may not be suitable in electrically noisy environments or where additional shielding is required to prevent electromagnetic interference. For long-distance backbone runs beyond typical horizontal lengths, higher-grade cabling or fibre solutions may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6 (performance class CAT6)
• Type: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Conductor: 4×2 AWG 26/7 stranded conductors
• Length: 2 metres
• Jacket material: PVC
• Connector wiring: 1:1 standard RJ45 wiring
• Boot: Moulded boot with kink protection and strain relief

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to a network device such as a computer, switch or router and the other plug to the corresponding port on the network infrastructure—patch panel, wall jack or another device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until a click is felt, and avoid sharp bends near the connector to maintain the integrity of the moulded boot and strain relief. For best performance, keep cable runs within recommended horizontal distance limits for copper Ethernet.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm required cable length and route, allowing slack for routing and future repositioning
• Assess whether unshielded UTP cabling is suitable for the installation environment
• Verify that CAT6 performance meets network speed and latency requirements for intended devices

Recommendations

Use this CAT6 UTP patch cable for standard Gigabit Ethernet connections over short to moderate distances; avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines and maintain gentle bend radii near connectors to preserve performance and longevity.
