Network patch cable LOGILINK CQ3113U Cat6A U/UTP 20 m slim high-flex 2.8 mm black

LOGILINK CQ3113U Cat6A U/UTP slim patch cable, 20 m, black, is a high-flex, low-profile network cable designed for reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in dense or dynamic installations. The cable features a 2.8 mm diameter jacket and soft TPE construction with pure copper conductors and gold-plated contacts. Its slim design and extra-short connector housings reduce cable bulk in racks and at workstations while maintaining support for Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Advantages

The slim 2.8 mm diameter and extra-short RJ-45 plugs reduce space requirements and improve airflow in server cabinets and patch panels. A soft, high-flex jacket and robust bend protection lower the risk of cable damage in tight routing situations and frequent handling. The cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and PoE, and uses pure copper conductors with gold-plated contacts to ensure stable signal transmission.

Suitable for

• High-density server cabinets and patch panels where reduced cable volume is required
• Office and home workstation wiring with limited space behind desks and switches
• Environments requiring flexible cabling for frequent rearrangement or movement
• 10 Gbps Ethernet links and PoE devices such as access points and IP phones

When it may not be suitable

This slim U/UTP Cat6A cable is not shielded, so it may be less suitable in environments with very high electromagnetic interference where shielded cables are recommended. For installations that require industrial-grade jacketing or extreme mechanical protection, a thicker, more rugged cable construction may be preferable.

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your switch, router or patch panel, and the other plug to the target device or another network port. Route the cable through cable management channels or behind racks, taking advantage of its slim profile to reduce congestion. Avoid sharp bends beyond the recommended bending radius for Cat6A cables and use the built-in bend protection on the connector ends to minimize stress at termination points.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether a shielded cable is required for EMI-prone environments
• Physical routing space and whether a 2.8 mm slim cable meets your durability needs
• Required maximum link length and whether 20 m is sufficient for your installation
• Compatibility with PoE-powered devices if power delivery is needed

Usage recommendations

Use this slim Cat6A patch cable in high-density or space-constrained installations, route it with gentle curves, and avoid excessive pulling force. For environments with heavy mechanical wear or strong electromagnetic interference, consider a shielded or more rugged alternative.
