Patch cable DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim, 1 m, green

Patch cable DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim, 1 m, green is a slim, unshielded Ethernet patch cable designed for short links in racks, patch panels, switches and wall outlets. Compliant with CAT6 performance up to 250 MHz, the cable supports data transmission up to 1 Gbit/s and is suitable for setups where space is limited. The cable uses stranded bare copper conductors and an unshielded twisted pair structure (U-UTP) with molded anti-kink sleeves and locking lever protection for durable connections in office, datacenter and home networks.

Advantages

The slim 2.7 mm outer diameter and flexible LSZH jacket enable neat routing in high-density cabling environments and confined spaces. Stranded AWG 32/7 copper conductors provide flexibility while maintaining PoE and PoE+ compatibility. Compliance with international cabling standards ensures predictable electrical performance and interoperability with standard RJ45 ports. Molded strain relief and locking lever protection reduce the risk of cable damage and broken latches during insertion and removal.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and switch interconnections in racks with limited space
• Office and home network patching
• Wall outlet to device connections for short runs
• High-density cabling environments and cable management ducts

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router, PC) and the other plug to the patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure the locking latch clicks into place to secure the connection and avoid sharp bends near the plug to maintain the specified bending radius. For high-density installations, route the slim cable alongside other patch cords to optimize space and use the molded strain relief to reduce mechanical stress on the connector.

Usage recommendations

Use the DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim patch cable for short patch runs up to 1 m where space is constrained. Avoid exposure to temperatures outside the specified operating range and do not subject the cable to excessive tensile loads. For deployments requiring longer permanent links or shielded protection, select an appropriate solid-core or shielded cable variant.
