Patchkabel DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP slank, 0,3 m, blauw

DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP Slim patch cable, 0.3 m, blue is a slim unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable designed for short connections between network devices. It supports Gigabit Ethernet at transmission frequencies up to 250 MHz and is suitable for structured cabling in offices, homes and other high-density cabling environments. The cable uses stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors, a flexible LSZH jacket and molded strain-relief boots with locking lever protection to reduce the risk of connector damage.

Advantages

The slim 2.7 mm diameter and flexible jacket make this patch cable easy to route in confined spaces and dense patch panels while maintaining CAT 6 performance up to 1 Gbit/s. Its pure copper conductors enable PoE and PoE+ applications, and compliance with international CAT 6 standards ensures consistent electrical and mechanical characteristics. Molded anti-kink sleeves and locking lever protection improve durability and reduce the chance of accidental damage during installation and use.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, routers and network interfaces
• Connecting patch panels to wall outlets in office racks
• Home networks and multimedia connections
• High-density cabling environments where space-saving cables are required

When it may not be suitable

This U-UTP slim patch cable is not suitable where shielded cabling is required to protect against high electromagnetic interference (EMI) or where performance above CAT 6 (for example 10 Gbit/s over longer distances) is needed. It is designed for short link lengths such as patching and in-cabinet connections rather than long permanent horizontal runs.

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT 6 (U-UTP)

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the corresponding Ethernet port until the locking tab clicks and ensure the molded strain-relief sits flush against the connector to avoid bending stress. Use the 0.3 m length for short patching tasks such as linking a switch to a patch panel or device-to-device connections within a rack or desktop setup. Route the cable following the rack or cable management pathways, observing the recommended bending radius to avoid kinking and preserve signal integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether shielded cable is required for environments with strong electromagnetic interference
• Needed cable length — this product is a 0.3 m patch cable intended for short links
• Compatibility with existing cabling standard and connector wiring (EIA/TIA 568B, PIN 1:1)
• Requirement for PoE/PoE+ power delivery — this cable uses pure copper conductors supporting PoE

Recommendations

Maintain the specified bending radius (15× outer diameter) and avoid sharp bends or repeated heavy flexing. Use the cable for patching and short interconnects in racks, patch panels and desktop setups to achieve reliable Gigabit performance.
