Cavo patch Digitus CAT 6 U/UTP LSZH 2m

The DIGITUS Patch Cord CAT 6 U/UTP LSZH 2m (DK-1617-020/WH) is a 2 metre Category 6 patch cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections up to 250 MHz. The cable uses copper conductors and RJ-45 connectors, features an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket for improved fire behaviour and reduced smoke emissions, and comes with a transparent red coloured plug for easy Category 6 identification. The white, U/UTP cabling supports Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) and is PoE+ ready.

Advantages

Manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 standards, this DIGITUS patch cord ensures channel compliance and consistent performance including NEXT characteristics up to 250 MHz. The molded boot provides kink protection, strain relief and latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage. LSZH material reduces smoke and halogen release in case of fire, and copper conductors provide stable signal transmission.

Suitable for

• Office and data centre horizontal patching
• Gigabit Ethernet networks (10/100/1000Base-T)
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices
• Indoor installations where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of a switch, patch panel or router and the other RJ-45 plug to the target device (PC, server, access point or VoIP phone). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and avoid tight bends near the connector boot to preserve the kink protection and strain relief. For best performance, keep cable runs within standard maximum lengths for patch cords and avoid running parallel to power cables to reduce interference.

Recommendations

Use this DIGITUS Cat 6 LSZH patch cord for short horizontal connections within racks and workstations where fire-safe cabling is required; replace damaged cords to maintain network reliability and compliance with Cat 6 channel specifications.
