Patch kabel CAT6 U-UTP tanek, DIGITUS DK-1618-050S-Y, 5 m, rumen

The DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP slim patch cable, 5 m in yellow, is a slim unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet lead designed for structured cabling in offices, server closets and home networks. Engineered for CAT6 performance, it supports data transmission up to 1 Gbit/s and a bandwidth of up to 250 MHz. The cable features stranded AWG 32/7 pure copper conductors, an LSZH outer jacket and a molded anti-kink sleeve with strain relief to protect the RJ45 connector and ensure reliable plug retention during frequent mating cycles.

Advantages

The slim 2.7 mm diameter and flexible jacket enable space-saving routing through dense cable bundles, patch panels and narrow cable channels. Compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173 CAT6 standards provides compatibility with existing structured cabling systems. The cable supports PoE and PoE+ applications thanks to pure copper conductors and is rated for common Ethernet standards such as 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T and 1000BASE-T. Flame retardant and low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) materials reduce smoke emission and toxic gases in case of fire.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches, patch panels and wall outlets in offices
• High-density rack and cabinet installations where space is limited
• Home network wiring and connections to routers or access points
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones, cameras and access points

How to use

Connect one end of the DIGITUS CAT6 slim patch cable to the RJ45 port of a switch, router or patch panel and the other end to the intended device or wall outlet. Ensure that connectors are fully inserted until the locking lever clicks. Route the cable along cable trays or tie points, observing the recommended bending radius to avoid excessive stress on the conductors. For high-density installations, use the slim profile to reduce congestion and keep patch panels tidy.

Recommendations

To maintain performance, avoid sharp bends and do not exceed the specified bending radius of 15× outer diameter. Use the cable for Ethernet applications up to 1 Gbit/s and for PoE/PoE+ devices when copper continuity is required. Store and install the cable within the specified temperature range and keep it away from strong electromagnetic interference sources to ensure reliable signal transmission.
