Patch kábel Digitus CAT 6 U/UTP LSZH DK-1617-005/Y

The DIGITUS Patch cord CAT 6 U/UTP LSZH DK-1617-005/Y is a 0.5 m network patch cable designed for high-performance Ethernet connections. Manufactured to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 standards, the cable supports data transmission up to 250 MHz and is PoE+ ready. The cable features a copper conductor, LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath for improved fire behaviour and low smoke emissions, and transparent red-coloured plugs for easy Category 6 identification. RJ-45 connectors with nickel/gold plating ensure reliable contact and enhanced durability.

Advantages

The patch cord is tested to Category 6 specifications, providing verified performance characteristics such as NEXT up to 250 MHz. Molded boots provide kink protection, strain relief and an integrated latch protector to reduce the risk of broken latching levers. Its LSZH sheath improves safety in case of fire, and the compact 0.5 m length is suitable for short links in patch panels and switches. The yellow cable colour allows quick visual identification in network environments.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, patch panels and network devices
• Structured cabling installations requiring Cat6 compliance
• PoE/PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones, cameras and wireless access points
• Environments where low smoke and zero halogen materials are required

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, patch panel or NIC) and the other to the corresponding port on the paired device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch engages and check that cable routing avoids sharp bends to maintain performance. Use the 0.5 m length for short links in racks, patch panels or desktop setups where minimal cable slack is required.

Recommendations

For optimal signal integrity, avoid running the patch cord parallel and close to power cables or sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Use appropriate cable management to prevent excessive bending and strain on the connectors; replace the cable if the latch or boot shows visible damage.
