Patch cable DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP Slim, 0.5 m, green

The DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP Slim patch cable, 0.5 m in green, is a short unshielded Ethernet lead designed to meet CAT 6 performance for Gigabit networks. Its reduced outer diameter and flexible slim jacket make it suitable for patch panels, switches and desktop connections where space is limited, enabling neat cable management in racks and workstations. The cable uses stranded bare copper conductors in an unshielded twisted pair (U-UTP) design and includes a molded anti-kink sleeve with strain relief and locking lever protection for increased durability during frequent connections.

Advantages

The slim construction (approx. 2.7 mm total diameter) and flexible jacket reduce bulk and ease routing in high-density environments. Designed and manufactured according to CAT 6 standards, the cable supports transmission frequencies up to 250 MHz and Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbit/s. PoE and PoE+ capable thanks to pure copper conductors, it combines space-saving dimensions with robust electrical performance and complies with common flammability and smoke emission requirements.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and high-density rack installations
• Switch-to-desktop or switch-to-wall outlet connections in offices and homes
• Network setups where reduced cable diameter and neat routing are required
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones and wireless access points

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network switch, patch panel or wall outlet and the other plug to the target device such as a PC, IP phone or access point. Ensure the locking latch is correctly engaged to avoid accidental disconnection and route the slim cable along existing cable channels, around corners with the recommended bending radius, and secure with appropriate cable ties or clips to maintain tidy cable management. For PoE applications, verify that the connected equipment supports the intended PoE standard.

Usage recommendations

Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid excessive pulling force; maintain a minimum bending radius of 15 times the outer diameter. Use in indoor environments within the specified temperature range and handle the molded strain relief gently when unplugging to prolong service life.
