Patch kabel DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP tanek, 5 m, rdeč

DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP Slim patch cable, 5 m, red is an unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable designed to meet CAT 6 performance for gigabit networks. With a slim outer diameter and flexible jacket, this 5 m cable connects switches, routers, patch panels and other network devices in offices, data closets and home networks while saving space in high-density cabling environments. The cable uses stranded bare copper conductors and conforms to international cabling standards for consistent transmission up to 250 MHz and 1 Gbit/s.

Advantages

The slim 2.7 mm diameter and flexible LSZH jacket enable neat routing through patch panels and cable ducts with minimal bending stress. The cable supports PoE and PoE+ applications thanks to pure copper conductors and provides molded strain relief with locking lever protection to reduce the risk of connector damage. Compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173 CAT 6 specifications ensures predictable electrical performance and interoperability in structured cabling installations.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting switches, routers and network devices in office environments
• Patching between wall outlets and patch panels in data closets
• Home networking for gigabit Ethernet connections
• High-density cabling runs and network cabinets where space is limited

How to use

Route the DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP Slim cable between the devices to be connected, ensuring the RJ45 plug inserts fully into the corresponding jack until the locking lever engages. Avoid sharp bends below the specified bending radius and do not exceed the recommended pulling tension. For patch panel installations, guide the cable through the panel openings or cable ducts and secure without crushing the jacket; the slim profile eases high-density terminations and neat cable management.

Recommendations

For reliable gigabit performance, use this CAT 6 U-UTP cable for horizontal patching runs up to its rated length and avoid routing alongside high-voltage power lines to minimise interference. When deploying Power over Ethernet (PoE) or PoE+ devices, confirm connector seating and allow adequate ventilation for powered equipment.
