Network patch cable Slim Wirewine SLIM-LS-K6A Cat6A U/FTP 10Gbps RJ-45 to RJ-45 0.1 m orange 50-pack

SLIM Patchcords CAT6A 10 Gigabit LightPatch Cord, 0.1 m, U/FTP, Ø 3.8 mm, yellow, 50-Pack is a slim, shielded Cat6A patch cable designed for short connections in high-density network environments. The round, four-pair twisted cable supports 10/1/0.1 Gbit/s data rates and includes a robust RJ45 plug with a break-resistant latch. The outer sheath is made of flame-retardant LSOH material and the cable is suitable for Power over Ethernet (IEEE802.3af and IEEE802.3at).

Advantages

The LightPatch design combines a very small outer diameter (Ø 3.8 mm) with high flexibility, making these cables easy to route in crowded racks, cable channels, or across desks. The U/FTP shielding reduces interference for reliable 10 Gigabit transmission, while the specially designed RJ45 connector and reinforced latch improve durability under frequent use. The flame-retardant LSOH jacket enhances safety in indoor installations.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in congested server or network cabinets
• High-port-density switches where space is limited
• Connecting end devices at desks (VoIP phones, printers, PCs, notebooks)
• Industrial or field applications with restricted cable routing space
• Technicians’ carry packs for on-site troubleshooting and setup
• Discreet routing in homes (under carpets, along skirting boards, through window seals)

When it may not be suitable

These 0.1 m patch cords are intended for very short links; they are not suitable as permanent horizontal cabling or for runs that require longer lengths. For outdoor use, direct burial, or environments requiring UV or heavy mechanical protection, choose a cable rated specifically for those conditions.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Category 6A (channel tested)
• Data transfer rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s (10 Gigabit)
• Shielding: U/FTP (individual pair foil with overall unshielded braid absent)
• Conductor: AWG 32, 100% copper, 4 twisted pairs
• Outer diameter: 3.8 mm
• Sheath material: LSOH (flame-retardant)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, straight male
• Length: 0.1 m
• PoE support: IEEE802.3af / IEEE802.3at
• Colour: Yellow / Orange

How to use

Use the patch cord to connect switch-to-switch ports, switch-to-panel ports, or connect end devices such as VoIP phones, printers and laptops where a very short cable is required. Insert the RJ45 plugs fully into the device ports until the latch engages. The reinforced latch allows frequent connection and disconnection without breakage. Route the cable carefully through tight spaces or along furniture; avoid sharp bends with radius smaller than the cable diameter and do not apply excessive tensile force.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length — these are 0.1 m short patch cords
• Intended environment — indoor use; not for direct burial or prolonged outdoor exposure
• Compatibility with network hardware supporting Cat6A and 10 Gigabit links
• Need for PoE support (IEEE802.3af/at compatible)
• Colour preference for cable management and identification

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use these SLIM Cat6A LightPatch cords for short, high-density patching inside racks or at workstations. Avoid tight kinks and maintain gentle bends; pair with Cat6A-compliant patch panels and switches when deploying 10 Gigabit links.
