Patch Cord Digitus CAT 6 U/UTP LSZH DK-1617-0025/BL

The DIGITUS Patch Cord CAT 6 U/UTP DK-1617-0025/BL is a 0.25 m network patch cable with U/UTP cabling technology, designed for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks. The cable has copper conductors, LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and low smoke emissions, and transparent red coloured RJ-45 plugs to allow easy identification of Category 6. Connectors feature nickel/gold plating for reliable conductivity and the product is PoE+ ready.

Advantages

The cable is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications and provides performance tested up to 250 MHz, including NEXT characteristics. A moulded boot with kink protection and strain relief reduces mechanical stress, while an integrated latch protection prevents breakage of the latching lever. The LSZH sheath minimises smoke and toxic gas release in case of fire.

Suitable for

• Patch connections in data centres and server rooms
• Desktop and wallplate connections in office networks
• High-speed Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T(X))
• PoE+ powered devices

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Use the cable for short patching runs between switches, patch panels and end devices. Avoid sharp bends and do not exceed the recommended bending radius to maintain performance. The moulded boot provides strain relief; ensure the boot is properly seated to protect the connector and cable entry.

Recommendations

For best results, route the LSZH patch cord away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference and follow your site’s cable management practices. Use within structured cabling channels compliant with ISO/EN standards to ensure Category 6 channel performance.
