Patchkabel DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP slank, 5 m, grijs

DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim patch cable, 5 m, gray is an unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet patch cord designed for Gigabit networks and space-saving routing. With CAT6 performance up to 250 MHz and a 5 m length, this cable is suitable for connections between patch panels, switches and desktop devices. The slim profile and flexible jacket allow installation in high-density cabling environments while maintaining standard Ethernet transmission characteristics and PoE/PoE+ compatibility.

Advantages

The slim outer diameter of approximately 2.7 mm and a flexible LSZH jacket make the cable easy to route through conduits, cable ducts and behind furniture where space is limited. Stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors provide good flexibility for repeated handling and the molded strain relief with locking lever protection reduces the risk of connector damage. The cable meets international cabling standards for CAT6, ensuring reliable electrical performance for typical Ethernet applications up to 1 Gbit/s and 250 MHz signaling.

Suitable for

• Office networks connecting patch panels, switches and wall outlets
• Home networks and multimedia connections where discreet routing is required
• High-density rack and patch panel installations with limited space
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones, wireless access points and cameras

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device (switch, router, patch panel or wall outlet) and the other connector into the corresponding device endpoint. Route the slim cable through cable management channels, ducts or behind furniture as needed, observing the minimum bending radius (15 × outer diameter) to avoid signal degradation. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking lever engages and strain-relief sleeves are seated to reduce mechanical stress on the termination.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tight bends and compression of the cable, keep it separated from high-voltage power lines where possible, and use the cable within the specified temperature range. The LSZH jacket makes it suitable for indoor installations where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required. Use this CAT6 slim patch cable for short to medium horizontal connections and high-density patching scenarios to maintain neat routing without sacrificing standard Ethernet performance.
