Patchkabel DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP slank, 2 m, sort

DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP Slim patch cable, 2 m, black, provides CAT6-class performance in a reduced-diameter, flexible design for high-density installations. The unshielded twisted pair construction and stranded copper conductors support Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 250 MHz. The slim 2.7 mm cable jacket and moulded RJ45 plugs with strain relief and lock protection make this cable suitable for space-constrained routing along patch panels, switches and workstations while maintaining compliance with international cabling standards.

Advantages

The slim outer diameter and flexible jacket facilitate tidy cable management and routing in tight spaces. Support for transmission speeds up to 1 Gbit/s and a 250 MHz transmission frequency ensures reliable data throughput for typical office and home networks. The cable uses stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors and LSZH outer casing for reduced smoke and halogen emissions. Molded anti-kink sleeves and locking lever protection increase connector durability and reduce the risk of accidental disconnection.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office and data‑cabinet environments
• Gigabit Ethernet workstations and desktop network connections
• High-density cabling runs where space-saving cables are required
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as VoIP phones and access points

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug of the DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP Slim patch cable to the port of a switch, router or network interface card and the other plug to the corresponding socket on the patch panel or device. Ensure the locking lever is fully engaged to secure the connection and avoid sharp bends at the connector entry; maintain the recommended bending radius during installation. The cable supports standard EIA/TIA pin assignments for direct 1:1 connections and can be used in typical structured cabling topologies without additional termination work.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid stretching the cable, keep separation from strong electromagnetic sources where possible, and follow cable routing practices to maintain bend radius and minimise stress on connectors. Use these slim patch cables in high-density panels and horizontal runs where space-saving routing is required; verify PoE power requirements against device specifications when using powered equipment.
