Slim CAT6 U-UTP Patch Cable by DIGITUS, 0.3 m, green

Slim CAT6 U-UTP Patch Cable by DIGITUS, 0.3 m, green provides reliable CAT 6 performance for gigabit LAN connections in environments where space is limited. The 0.3 m patch cable uses unshielded twisted pairs with stranded bare copper conductors and a slim outer diameter, making it suitable for dense patch panels, switch-to-patch connections and short device links in offices or home networks.

Advantages

The cable combines a reduced total diameter of 2.7 mm with a flexible LSZH jacket for easy routing in confined spaces and high-density racks. It supports transmission speeds up to 1 Gbit/s at frequencies up to 250 MHz and is PoE/PoE+ capable thanks to pure copper conductors. A molded anti-kink sleeve with strain relief and locking-lever protection reduces the risk of connector damage during installation and use.

Suitable for

• Short connections between switches, patch panels and network devices in office and data-closet environments
• Home networks requiring compact cabling and tidy patch panels
• High-density patch panels and cable management channels where slim cables reduce congestion

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded U-UTP cable is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cables (STP/FTP) would be required. It is designed for short patching runs (0.3 m) and therefore not suitable as a permanent in-wall or long-distance backbone cable.

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT 6, unshielded twisted pair (U-UTP)
• Length: 0.3 m
• Outer jacket: LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen)
• Total diameter: 2.7 mm ± 0.15 mm
• Conductor: stranded bare copper AWG 32/7
• Insulation: HD-PE (high-density polyethylene)
• Frequency: up to 250 MHz
• Data rate: up to 1 Gbit/s (1000BASE-T)
• Bending radius: 15 × outer diameter
• Operating temperature: -20 °C to +60 °C
• Flame and smoke: IEC 60332-1 and IEC 61034 compliant
• Typical applications: 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, 1000BASE-T
• Dielectric strength: 500 V AC for 1 minute without breakdown
• Durability: approx. 750 mating cycles

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plug to the network device and the corresponding port on a switch, patch panel or router. Ensure the locking lever engages fully and route the cable along cable management paths to avoid sharp bends; respect the recommended bending radius of 15× the outer diameter. For PoE applications verify device compatibility and power requirements before use.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a 0.3 m patch cable length suits your layout and does not require a longer permanent run
• Choose unshielded U-UTP only if the installation environment has low electromagnetic interference
• Ensure PoE/PoE+ power requirements are met by connected devices and switches

Recommendations

Use these slim DIGITUS CAT6 patch cables for short device-to-panel connections in dense racks or compact installations; avoid installing them as in-wall or long-distance cabling and maintain proper bending radius to preserve performance.
