Verkkopatchkaapeli DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP ohut, 1,5 m, harmaa

DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim patch cable, 1.5 m, gray — a space-saving network cable designed for installations where reduced cable thickness and flexibility are important. The unshielded twisted pair (U-UTP) structure with stranded bare copper conductors supports Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz and transmission speeds up to 1 Gbit/s, making this slim cable suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet connections. The cable features RJ45 terminations with molded strain relief and locking lever protection to reduce stress on the connector and minimize the risk of damage during frequent mating cycles.

Advantages

The slim outer diameter of 2.7 mm and a flexible jacket allow compact routing in cable ducts, vertical managers and behind equipment with limited clearance, while LSZH outer material lowers smoke and corrosive gas emission in case of fire. Constructed to meet ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 CAT6 standards, the cable provides reliable electrical performance and supports PoE and PoE+ applications thanks to pure copper conductors. Molded anti-kink sleeves and robust RJ45 plugs extend service life and simplify handling during installations.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches, routers and patch panels in office and data cabinet environments
• Home network cabling where discreet, low-profile cabling is required
• High-density cabling scenarios such as vertical cable managers and multiport switch arrays
• PoE and PoE+ device connections including IP phones, access points and cameras

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other end to the target device such as a PC, IP phone or access point. Route the slim cable through cable managers, trunking or behind racks keeping the bending radius at least 15 times the cable diameter to maintain transmission performance. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab engages; use the molded strain relief to reduce stress at the plug during installation and movement.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable and maintain separation from strong electrical noise sources. Use slim CAT6 patch cables in high-density racks to improve airflow and reduce congestion; verify PoE device power requirements to ensure compatibility. Regularly inspect connectors for wear if connectors are frequently mated and replace cables that show mechanical damage.
