Patchkabel DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP slank, 0,5 m, geel

DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP Slim patch cable, 0.5 m in yellow, is a short Ethernet patch lead designed for CAT 6 networks. With an outer diameter of 2.7 mm and a flexible LSZH jacket, this slim cable is intended for space-saving installations in crowded patch panels, switches, routers and wall outlets in offices, data cabinets and home networks. The cable uses unshielded twisted pairs (U-UTP) with stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors and supports transmission speeds up to 1 Gbit/s at frequencies up to 250 MHz while maintaining PoE and PoE+ compatibility.

Advantages

The slim design with a total diameter of approximately 2.7 mm provides high flexibility and easy routing in confined spaces without sacrificing CAT 6 performance. A molded anti-kink sleeve with strain relief and locking lever protection reduces mechanical stress at the RJ45 plug and prevents locking breakage. The cable is manufactured to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 CAT 6 standards and features LSZH outer casing for reduced smoke and halogen emission in case of fire.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and patch panels in high-density racks
• Short connections between wall outlets and network devices in offices
• Home networking where neat cable routing is required
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as access points and IP phones
• Temporary and permanent installations in data cabinets and workplaces

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router or wall outlet) and the other to the target port. Ensure the locking lever engages and route the slim cable along the planned cable path, observing the recommended bending radius to avoid excessive mechanical stress. For installations in patch panels or high-density environments, use the reduced diameter to organize multiple cables neatly and avoid obstructing adjacent ports.

Recommendations

Keep the cable within the specified operating temperature and avoid sharp bends or kinks. If used for PoE or PoE+ devices, verify device power requirements and cabling distances; the slim stranded construction is suitable for short patch connections rather than long permanent horizontal runs.
