Network patch cable DS-IT CAT6 UTP solid conductor 305m LSZH (Dca) DC-UTP6-305S-DCA

DS-IT CAT6 UTP solid conductor cable on a 305 m reel is a Category 6 unshielded twisted pair cable designed for Ethernet and structured cabling systems. The cable uses solid copper conductors and meets Category 6 performance requirements for data transmission up to 250 MHz. The LSZH (Dca) jacket provides reduced smoke emission and halogen-free characteristics for installations where fire safety and low-toxicity smoke are priorities. Supplied on a 305 m spool, this cable is suitable for bulk deployment in horizontal and vertical pathways in commercial buildings, data closets and residential networks.

Advantages

The solid-conductor design delivers stable electrical performance and predictable impedance for permanent link installations and long cable runs. LSZH (Dca) outer jacket reduces harmful halogen emissions and limits smoke density in case of fire, supporting compliance with stricter building safety standards. Being Category 6 rated, the cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network applications while remaining unshielded for cost-effective installation and compatibility with common terminating hardware.

Suitable for

• Horizontal and vertical structured cabling in offices and commercial buildings
• Permanent link installations to patch panels and wall outlets
• Gigabit Ethernet networks and applications up to Category 6 performance
• Environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling (LSZH)

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded cable may not be suitable in areas with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cable types (STP/FTP) are preferred to maintain signal integrity. It is designed for fixed, permanent link installations and solid conductors are less appropriate for frequent flexing or patch cable uses where stranded conductors are typically used. Also verify local fire code requirements to ensure the Dca rating meets specific building regulations.

Key specifications

• Category: Category 6 (Cat6), performance up to 250 MHz
• Conductor type: Solid copper conductors
• Cable type: UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 305 m on a spool
• Jacket: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), Dca reaction-to-fire class
• Typical applications: Ethernet, structured building cabling, Gigabit LAN

How to use

Measure and route the cable from the distribution point to each termination location, maintaining recommended bend radius and avoiding tight bends or kinks. Terminate solid conductors on patch panels and keystone jacks designed for solid Cat6 wiring, following the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Use appropriate cable management, labeling and testing tools to certify performance after installation. Cut and strip the jacket carefully to avoid nicking conductors and maintain pair twist as close to the termination as possible for best performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that Category 6 performance and 250 MHz bandwidth meet current and near-future network requirements
• Confirm LSZH (Dca) jacket rating satisfies local building and fire-safety regulations
• Choose solid conductor cable for permanent in-wall or horizontal runs rather than patching or frequent-move scenarios
• Ensure installer tools and termination hardware are compatible with solid Cat6 conductors

Usage recommendations

For reliable Category 6 performance, route the DS-IT CAT6 UTP cable away from major power sources and sources of electromagnetic interference, keep pair twists intact near terminations, and perform post-installation certification tests for continuity, wiremap, attenuation and near-end crosstalk (NEXT).
