Patchkábel DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP karcsú 0,5 m piros

DIGITUS CAT6 U-UTP Slim 0.5 m red is a short, unshielded twisted-pair patch cable designed for Category 6 networks. With a compact 0.5 m length and a slim outer diameter, this red Ethernet cable is intended for patch panels, switches and short interconnects where space is limited. The cable supports Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 1 Gbit/s and a transmission frequency of up to 250 MHz while maintaining flexibility and reliable connectivity through molded RJ45 plugs with strain relief.

Advantages

The slim design with a total diameter of approximately 2.7 mm reduces bulk in high-density installations and improves cable management in racks and desktop setups. Stranded AWG 32/7 bare copper conductors combined with HD-PE insulation provide flexibility and durability for frequent handling and tight bends. The cable meets CAT 6 requirements according to international standards, offers PoE and PoE+ compatibility thanks to pure copper conductors, and uses a molded anti-kink sleeve plus locking lever protection to reduce connector damage and accidental unlocking.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and short connections in server racks
• Network switches and desktop networking
• Office and home Gigabit Ethernet installations
• High-density cabling environments where slim cables improve airflow and organization

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the port on the patch panel, switch or network device until the locking tab engages. Route the slim cable through cable management channels or tie points, observing the minimum bending radius (15 times the outer diameter) to avoid damage. For PoE installations ensure connectors and devices are rated for the required PoE class. When disconnecting, press the locking lever and pull the connector by the molded strain-relief sleeve rather than by the cable to reduce stress on the wires.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs short when possible and avoid running the patch cable parallel to power lines or near high-interference sources. Use appropriate cable management to maintain bend radius and prevent repeated sharp bends. Verify compatibility with network equipment for Gigabit and PoE requirements.
