Network Cable DIGITUS DK-1614-VH-05 U/UTP Cat.6 50m Purple

The DIGITUS DK-1614-VH-05 U/UTP Cat.6 network cable in purple is a 50-metre solid conductor cable engineered for structured cabling in home and office networks. It uses AWG 23/1 solid conductors and meets Cat.6 performance for high-speed Ethernet connections while the LSOH (low smoke, zero halogen) jacket reduces harmful emissions in case of fire. The single-pair unshielded (U/UTP) construction provides balanced transmission with minimal crosstalk for reliable data transfer over longer runs.

Advantages

This Cat.6 cable delivers consistent bandwidth suitable for gigabit Ethernet and offers a solid AWG 23/1 conductor profile for stable signal integrity. The LSOH sheath improves safety in enclosed environments by limiting smoke and corrosive gases. The 50 m length is convenient for intermediate runs without splicing, and the purple jacket helps with visual identification and cable management in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Ethernet networks up to Cat.6 performance levels (including Gigabit Ethernet)
• Structured cabling in homes, offices and small data closets
• Vertical and horizontal cable runs where LSOH material is required
• Patch panels, wall outlets and switch-to-endpoint connections

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6
• Conductor: solid copper, AWG 23/1
• Length: 50 m
• Jacket material: LSOH (low smoke, zero halogen)
• Color: purple
• Construction: 4 pairs, 1:1 pair lay

How to use

Install the DIGITUS Cat.6 cable by running it along planned cable routes, avoiding sharp bends and proximity to strong electromagnetic sources such as power cables and large transformers. Terminate the cable at RJ45 connectors or into keystone jacks and patch panels designed for Cat.6 solid conductors; follow connector manufacturer guidance for proper wire pairing and insulation stripping. After termination, test each link with a certified cable tester to verify continuity, pair mapping and performance parameters.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, maintain recommended bend radius (typically at least four times the cable diameter), avoid crushing or kinking, and keep separation from mains power lines to reduce EMI. Use appropriate Cat.6-rated hardware for patch panels and wall jacks to preserve transmission characteristics over the full 50 m length.
