Cable de parcheo Digitus CAT 6 U/UTP LSZH 0,5m

The DIGITUS Patch Cord CAT 6 U/UTP LSZH 0.5 m is a Category 6 network patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission and compliant cabling installations. It features a 0.5 meter copper conductor cable with RJ-45 connectors and an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath to reduce smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. The transparent red colored plug identifies the Category 6 performance class and the cable is PoE+ ready for powered network devices.

Advantages

This CAT 6 patch cord is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 6 standards and delivers guaranteed channel performance up to 250 MHz, including NEXT characteristics. The cable uses copper conductors and comes with molded boots that provide kink protection, strain relief and a latch protection to prevent the latching lever from breaking. The LSZH jacket improves fire behaviour and lowers smoke generation for safer indoor environments.

Suitable for

• Short connections between switches, patch panels and network devices in racks and wall outlets
• Structured cabling installations that require Category 6 performance
• Environments where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required (public buildings, data centres, offices)
• PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones, access points and cameras

Key specifications

• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: Blue (transparent red plug for Category 6 identification)
• PoE: PoE+ ready

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your switch, patch panel or device and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks in place. Use the 0.5 m length for short patching runs inside racks or between nearby devices to reduce excess cable loops. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force to maintain performance and prevent damage to the conductors and jacket.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, route the patch cord away from high-power electrical cables and sources of electromagnetic interference. Check that both ends are compatible with Category 6 wiring standards in your structured cabling system and replace damaged cords to maintain channel compliance and PoE+ reliability.
