Digitus CAT 6 U/UTP LSZH Patch Cable 2m

The DIGITUS Patch cord CAT 6 U/UTP LSZH 2m is a Category 6 patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in structured networks. The cable is manufactured to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 specifications and is performance-tested up to 250 MHz. It features a copper conductor, PoE+ readiness and an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and reduced smoke emissions. The transparent red connector allows easy identification of Category 6 cables.

Advantages

This CAT 6 U/UTP patch cord provides tested Category 6 performance including NEXT characteristics up to 250 MHz. The LSZH jacket reduces halogen release and smoke in case of fire. Molded boots with kink protection and strain relief extend connector durability, while an integrated latch protection prevents damage to the latching tab. The use of copper conductors ensures stable signal transmission and compatibility with PoE+ power delivery.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Office and data centre horizontal patching
• Connecting switches, patch panels and network outlets
• Power over Ethernet installations (PoE/PoE+)
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling

How to use

Verify both network ports support RJ-45 connections and are powered down if required by your maintenance procedures. Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, using the molded boot and strain relief to protect the connector. For PoE installations, ensure connected devices and switches support the required PoE class.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m DIGITUS CAT 6 patch cord for short horizontal connections within racks or between nearby network devices; avoid running it near high-voltage power lines or strong EMI sources to maintain optimal signal quality.
