Patch cord Digitus CAT 6 U/UTP LSZH 0.25m

The DIGITUS Patch cord CAT 6 U/UTP LSZH 0.25m is a short RJ‑45 patch cable designed for Category 6 networks. Constructed with copper conductors and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) sheath, it supports performance testing up to 250 MHz and is PoE+ ready. The transparent red connector makes Category 6 cables easy to identify while the grey cable color provides a neutral appearance for diverse installations.

Advantages

This patch cord meets ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications and is factory tested for parameters including NEXT up to 250 MHz. The molded boot includes kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector to reduce the risk of connector damage. The LSZH sheath offers improved fire behaviour with low smoke emissions, and the copper conductor ensures reliable signal transmission. PoE+ compatibility supports powered devices.

How to use

Plug the RJ‑45 connectors into the corresponding ports on network devices, switches or patch panels. Ensure connectors click into place and that the cable is routed without sharp bends to preserve the molded boot's kink protection. Use the short 0.25 m length for tidy, close‑range connections in racks, patch panels or desktop setups.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT 6 patch cord within a certified Category 6 channel and avoid exceeding bend radii near the connector. In installations with fire safety requirements, the LSZH sheath reduces smoke and halogen emissions; verify building codes for compliance.
