DDS / DPC-LSZHC6BC5M / UTP Patch Cord LSZH 5M Cat6

Mid-Range Fire-Safe Cat6 Patch Cord for Flexible Installations

The DDS / DPC-LSZHC6BC5M / UTP Patch Cord LSZH 5M Cat6 is a premium, fire-safe mid-range Cat6 patch cord from DDS — engineered for structured cabling installations in hospitals, schools, data centres, public buildings, and any indoor environment where Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) compliance is a mandatory safety requirement. Constructed from 24 AWG stranded bare copper with moulded RJ45 plugs at each end, this Category 6 patch cord delivers full Class E performance — supporting 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet and 250 MHz bandwidth across the full 5-metre length. Furthermore, the 5 M length occupies the sweet spot between the tidiness of a 3-metre cord and the extended reach of a 10-metre run — making it the go-to choice for connecting workstations to wall outlets across wider open-plan offices, linking patch panels to switches in deeper rack enclosures, and providing flexible temporary connections during network commissioning or testing. Consequently, both professional installers and in-house IT teams rely on this length as a highly practical everyday tool across a broad range of commercial and institutional network environments.

LSZH Jacket — Fire Safety at Every Connection Point

The LSZH outer jacket is the defining advantage of the DDS / DPC-LSZHC6BC5M over standard PVC patch cords. In the event of a fire, the LSZH compound emits minimal smoke and releases zero toxic halogen gases — protecting building occupants, first responders, and sensitive electronic equipment in enclosed spaces such as server rooms, ceiling voids, cable risers, and open-plan office environments. Additionally, LSZH compliance satisfies mandatory requirements under many national and international building codes for medical, educational, hospitality, and commercial premises. Moreover, specifying LSZH patch cords at every connection point ensures the entire structured cabling channel meets fire safety regulations from horizontal cable run to final patch cord. Therefore, building inspections, project sign-offs, and insurance documentation proceed without complications regardless of the size or complexity of the installation.

Built for Reliability Across Repeated Daily Use

The 24 AWG stranded bare copper conductors deliver the flexibility needed for repeated connect and disconnect cycles throughout the product’s service life — without conductor fatigue, kinking, or signal degradation across the 5-metre run. Furthermore, the cord supports both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, ensuring universal pin-out compatibility across all standard patch panels, keystone jacks, and active switch ports in any structured cabling environment. Additionally, the snag-resistant moulded RJ45 boots at both ends protect the latch mechanism during repeated insertions and removals, maintaining a secure and professional connection at every port across the lifetime of the installation. Whether you are connecting workstations across a wide office floor, linking equipment in a hospital IT room, dressing a deeper rack enclosure in a data centre, or completing the final connection in a fire-rated cabling system, the DDS / DPC-LSZHC6BC5M / UTP Patch Cord LSZH 5M Cat6 delivers the fire safety, reach, and electrical performance your project demands.
