Digitus CAT 6 U/UTP LSZH DK-1617-005/R Patch Cable

The DIGITUS Patch Cord CAT 6 U/UTP LSZH DK-1617-005/R is a 0.5 m red patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling. It meets Category 6 (Class E) specifications and is tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 standards. The LSZH sheath reduces smoke and eliminates halogens for safer indoor use, and the transparent red connector provides quick visual identification of Category 6 cabling.

Advantages

The cable is PoE+ ready and uses copper conductors to ensure reliable signal transmission. Performance testing up to 250 MHz, including NEXT (near-end crosstalk), confirms compliance with ISO & EN channel specification requirements. Each molded boot includes kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation and operation.

Suitable for

• Office and data center horizontal patching
• Connections between switches, patch panels and network devices
• Environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding ports of switches, patch panels or network devices until the latch clicks into place. Route the 0.5 m cable carefully to avoid sharp bends; the molded boot provides kink protection and strain relief. For removal, press the latch protector and gently withdraw the connector to avoid damaging the latch.

Recommendations

Use this Cat 6 U/UTP LSZH patch cord for short horizontal connections in racks and wall outlets where low-smoke, halogen-free materials and clear visual identification of Category 6 cabling are required. Avoid excessive bending beyond the cable’s bend radius and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources for optimal performance.
