Patch cord Digitus CAT 6 U/UTP LSZH DK-1617-0025/R

The DIGITUS Patch cord CAT 6 U/UTP LSZH DK-1617-0025/R is a 0.25 m Category 6 patch cable designed for reliable, high-speed network connections. Constructed with copper conductors and fitted with RJ-45 connectors featuring nickel/gold plating, the cable meets ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 requirements and is tested for performance up to 250 MHz. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath improves fire behaviour and reduces smoke emissions, while the transparent red connector makes Category 6 links easy to identify.

Advantages

The cable provides certified Category 6 performance including NEXT characteristics up to 250 MHz and is PoE+ ready for powered devices. Molded boots with kink protection and strain relief increase durability and connector longevity. The latch protection on the boot reduces the risk of latch breakage during handling. The red transparent plug allows quick visual identification of Cat 6 runs in patch panels and cable management systems.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, patch panels and network devices
• Office and data center cabling where Cat6 performance is required
• Environments requiring LSZH sheath for reduced smoke and halogen-free materials
• Power over Ethernet applications up to PoE+ power levels

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network equipment port (switch, router or patch panel) and the other plug to the corresponding device port to establish a network link. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid excessive pulling forces to preserve the integrity of the molded boot and internal conductors. For highest performance, use within a structured cabling channel that meets Category 6 installation guidelines.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, keep cable runs within recommended lengths for patch cords, avoid tight bends near the connector boots, and verify connections and PoE device compatibility before powering. Use the red transparent connector for easy identification during installation and maintenance.
