Network patch cable Rittal DK 7030.093 2 m U/UTP (UTP) RJ-45 to RJ-45 Black

Rittal DK 7030.093 is a 2 m network patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and U/UTP (UTP) unshielded twisted-pair construction. Designed for interconnecting network devices, patch panels and monitoring equipment in server rooms, racks and control cabinets, this cable provides standard Ethernet connectivity for LANs and device links where unshielded UTP wiring is required. The black jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for professional installations.

Advantages

This 2 m patch cable delivers reliable signal transmission for typical Ethernet applications while keeping installation simple thanks to standard RJ-45 terminations. The U/UTP (UTP) conductor configuration supports common network topologies without the need for shielding, and the cable’s length and color make it convenient for use inside racks and cabinets. Compatibility with standard RJ-45 ports ensures easy replacement or extension of existing connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting LAN devices such as switches, routers and network interface cards in server rooms
• Patching between patch panels and rack-mounted equipment
• Linking monitoring systems and management controllers that accept RJ-45 connections
• Short runs inside control cabinets and enclosures where unshielded cabling is acceptable

When it may not be suitable

This U/UTP (UTP) cable is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling would be required to reduce noise and crosstalk. It is also not suitable for applications that require PoE power ratings beyond typical Ethernet standards without verifying device compatibility and power delivery specifications.

Key specifications

• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Color: Black

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable through cable management channels or tie points inside racks and cabinets to reduce strain and maintain airflow. For monitoring systems and patch panels, ensure both ends are seated firmly and verify link status using device LEDs or network diagnostics. Replace or re-route the cable if connectors show excessive wear or if network errors occur.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm required cable length and whether 2 m is suitable for your installation
• Verify that unshielded U/UTP cabling is acceptable for the electromagnetic environment
• Check connector compatibility with your devices (RJ-45 ports)
• Consider if PoE power levels or higher-category performance are needed

Usage recommendations

Use this Rittal 2 m U/UTP patch cable for short, internal connections within racks and control cabinets. Keep cable runs tidy with proper strain relief and avoid routing near heavy power cables or equipment that generates strong electromagnetic fields.
