Slim Wirewine SLIM Patchcord PKW-LIGHT-STP-K6A Cat6a U/FTP (STP) RJ-45–RJ-45 0.1 m Orange

SLIM Patchcords PKW-LIGHT-STP-K6A 0.1 OR is an ultra-thin Cat6a U/FTP (STP) networking cable in orange with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. With a cable length of 0.1 m and a compact round design, it delivers category 6 performance suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T (including gigabit Ethernet) connections while saving space in crowded cabinets and high-density panels. The cable pairs are twisted inside the slim jacket, and the patchcord supports Power over Ethernet (PoE IEEE802.3af). Practical features include an innovative boot design and length markings at both ends.

Advantages

The SLIM LIGHT patchcord combines a very small diameter with Category 6 performance, allowing dense port usage and tidy cable routing in restricted spaces. Its U/FTP shielding and twisted pairs provide stable signal transmission for typical Ethernet applications, while the flexible construction and protective boot make it easier to route and reduce strain on connectors. Built-in length prints help with quick identification in patching scenarios.

Suitable for

• High-density switches and patch panels where space is limited
• Short inter-switch or switch-to-panel connections in server rooms
• VoIP phone connections and desktop wiring where flexibility matters
• Technicians' toolkits or notebook bags as a compact patch cable
• Industrial or manufacturing setups requiring Ethernet in confined spaces
• Discreet routing under carpets or edge strips in residential environments

When it may not be suitable

Because the cable is extremely short (0.1 m) and designed for space-saving patching, it is not suitable as a replacement for longer horizontal or permanent link cabling. Also, the slim diameter and thin form factor may be less robust than thicker industrial or outdoor-rated cables for harsh mechanical environments or direct exposure to sunlight and moisture.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Category 6a performance
• Shielding: U/FTP (foil for each pair with overall shielding)
• Conductor material and size: AWG36, 100% copper conductors
• Number of pairs: 4 twisted pairs
• Jacket material: PVC
• Colour: Orange (similar to RAL2004)
• Design: round, ultra-thin diameter (approx. one third of a standard Cat6 patchcord)
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight male on both ends
• Supports: Power over Ethernet (PoE IEEE802.3af)
• Length: 0.1 m

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plugs to the corresponding Ethernet ports on switches, patch panels or devices requiring a short link. Ensure plugs are fully inserted until the latch engages. Use these 0.1 m patchcords for direct patching between adjacent ports, for neat connections in dense cabinets, or to replace a standard patchcord where space constraints require a thinner cable. Avoid stretching the cable; the flexible jacket and boot reduce stress but do not replace proper cable management practices.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended length: 0.1 m is suitable only for very short connections or adjacent ports
• Environment: not rated for outdoor use or harsh mechanical conditions
• Compatibility: RJ-45 terminated Cat6a U/FTP patchcord for standard Ethernet ports
• Colour preference: orange finish (similar to RAL2004) for visibility or colour-coded installations

Usage recommendations

Use the SLIM PKW-LIGHT-STP-K6A 0.1 OR for short, high-density patching tasks—install between adjacent ports or on patch panels where minimal cable bulk is required. Pair with proper cable management and avoid exposure to outdoor elements for best performance and longevity.
