DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim Patch Cable, 2 m, Red

DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim patch cable, 2 m, red is an unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet patch cord designed for Gigabit networks and structured cabling. With a slim outer diameter and flexible jacket, the cable reduces congestion in patch panels and cabling ducts while maintaining CAT6 performance up to 250 MHz and data rates up to 1 Gbit/s. The cable is terminated with RJ45 plugs and includes a molded strain-relief sleeve with locking lever protection to prevent damage during installation and operation. The 2 m length is suitable for desk, switch and rack connections where space is limited.

Advantages

The slim 2.7 mm diameter and flexible LSZH jacket enable neat installations in high-density environments and tight cable routes without sacrificing signal integrity. Stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors and HD-PE insulation provide reliable transmission and mechanical durability for frequent handling. The cable meets CAT6 standards and common international cabling specifications, supports PoE and PoE+ applications, and is rated for a wide operating temperature range and flame retardancy tests.

Suitable for

• Office patch panels and horizontal cabling
• Desk-to-switch connections in workstations
• High-density cable management in server racks and comms cabinets
• Home networks and multimedia connections

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other plug to the target device (PC, IP phone, access point or another patch panel). Ensure the locking lever engages correctly and route the cable following existing cable management paths to keep bends larger than the specified bending radius. For installations within patch panels or racks, use the slim profile to reduce congestion and keep adjacent ports accessible.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and excessive tension on the cable, maintain separation from high-voltage power cables where possible, and verify connections after installation. The cable supports PoE and PoE+ when used with compatible equipment; check device specifications for PoE power classes and limits.
