Cavo patch DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP sottile, 1 m, rosso

DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP Slim patch cable, 1 m, red is an unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet patch lead designed to deliver CAT 6 performance in compact installations. With a reduced outer diameter and flexible jacket, this 1 m cable supports data transmission up to 1 Gbit/s at a frequency of 250 MHz and is suitable for connecting switches, routers, patch panels and network endpoints in offices, homes and high-density cabling environments. The cable uses stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors, follows EIA/TIA 568B color coding and includes a molded anti-kink sleeve with strain relief to protect the RJ45 plug and locking tab.

Advantages

The slim design with a total diameter of approximately 2.7 mm reduces cable bulk, making routing in dense patch panels and confined spaces easier while maintaining flexibility for installation. LSZH outer jacket limits smoke and halogen emissions in the event of fire. Compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173 CAT 6 standards ensures consistent electrical performance and compatibility with common Ethernet standards including 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T and 1000BASE-T. The cable supports PoE and PoE+ with pure copper conductors and provides reliable mechanical protection with a molded anti-kink sleeve and locking lever protection.

Suitable for

• Short patch runs between switches, routers and wall outlets in offices and homes
• High-density patch panels and data closets where reduced cable diameter is needed
• Connections to network endpoints such as PCs, IP phones, printers and access points
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices where CAT 6 performance is required

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to a network device such as a switch, router or wall outlet and the other end to the corresponding port on the target device, observing the EIA/TIA 568B pin assignment for consistent wiring. Route the slim cable through cable management channels or vertical/horizontal managers, taking advantage of the small diameter to reduce bending and congestion. Avoid excessive tensile force on the connector and make sure the molded strain relief is seated to protect the locking tab during insertion and removal.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within typical patch-lengths for 1 Gbit/s connections and avoid tight bends smaller than the specified bending radius. Use the DIGITUS CAT 6 U-UTP Slim cable for short, high-density connections and combine with suitable patch panels and modular jacks rated for CAT 6 to maintain overall link performance. Store unused cables in a dry environment and avoid exposure to direct sunlight or temperatures outside the specified operating range.
