Patchkabel Digitus CAT 6 U/UTP LSZH DK-1617-020/Y 2 m

The DIGITUS Patch cord CAT 6 U/UTP LSZH DK-1617-020/Y is a 2 m network patch cable designed for installation environments that require low smoke and halogen-free materials. The cable features U/UTP construction, copper conductors, RJ-45 connectors with gold plating and a transparent red plug for easy Category 6 identification. It is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications and supports performance up to 250 MHz with PoE+ readiness.

Advantages

LSZH sheath provides improved fire behaviour and reduced smoke emissions; copper conductors ensure reliable signal transmission; molded boots with kink protection, strain relief and latch protection increase connector durability; transparent red plug simplifies identification of Category 6 cables; compatibility with ISO/EN channel specifications guarantees predictable performance up to 250 MHz.

Suitable for

• Horizontal and patch cabling in offices and data centers
• Network connections requiring PoE+ support (IP phones, access points, cameras)
• Environments where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required
• Structured cabling installations using Category 6 standards

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to a network device (switch, patch panel, router) and the other end to a workstation, server or peripheral. Ensure plugs are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the cable without tight bends and avoid placing it near sources of strong electromagnetic interference to maintain signal integrity and performance.

Recommendations

For best results, install within structured cabling channels that meet ISO/IEC and EN standards, avoid excessive bending radius at the connector boot, and use the cable for links and patching where Cat 6 performance up to 250 MHz is required. Inspect connectors regularly for damage to the latch or boot.
