Slim Wirewine SLIM Patchcords CAT6A 10 Gigabit LightPatch Cord U/FTP 0.25 m RJ-45 orange 50-pack

SLIM Patchcords CAT6A 10 Gigabit LightPatch Cord, 0.25 m, U/FTP, Ø 3.8 mm, yellow, 50-Pack is a slim, shielded Cat6A patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The round, four-pair cable uses U/FTP shielding and a low-smoke, halogen-free (LSOH) outer sheath. It features an improved RJ45 plug with a reinforced, bend-resistant latch and an innovative short boot that simplifies connector operation in tight spaces. The cable supports standard Ethernet speeds up to 10 000 Mbit/s and is suitable for Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af/at).

Advantages

The thin, highly flexible design reduces space requirements in crowded server racks, patch panels and cable channels while allowing reliable 10 Gigabit performance. U/FTP pair shielding improves signal integrity in environments with potential interference. The flame-retardant LSOH sheath increases safety in enclosed installations. The reinforced RJ45 latch minimizes the risk of connector breakage during repeated handling, extending connector durability.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and patch panels in high-density racks and cabinets
• Short connections on desks to VoIP phones, printers, PCs and notebooks
• Technicians’ and field engineers’ toolkits for mobile patching
• Industrial or space-constrained installations where flexible, thin cables are required
• Discreet home installations—routing under carpets, along skirting boards or through window seals

When it may not be suitable

This very short 0.25 m patch cord is intended for close-proximity connections; it is not suitable where longer cable runs are required. For environments that demand unshielded cabling or different jacket materials, this U/FTP LSOH cable may not match those specific requirements.

Key specifications

• Category: 6A (channel measured)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Conductor: 4 pairs, AWG32, 100% copper
• Shielding: U/FTP (foil per pair, overall unshielded braid not present)
• Outer diameter: 3.8 mm
• Sheath material: LSOH (low-smoke, halogen-free)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 straight male – RJ‑45 straight male
• Data transfer rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s (10 Gigabit)
• PoE support: IEEE 802.3af / IEEE 802.3at
• Colour: yellow / orange

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on network switches, patch panels or end devices. Use this 0.25 m cable for short, direct connections where minimal cable slack is required. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks; the reinforced latch allows repeated bending without failure. Route the cable through limited spaces or cable channels as needed; avoid excessive tension and sharp bends beyond the cable’s flexing capability.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length—0.25 m is suitable only for very short connections
• Shielding type—U/FTP is recommended where pair-level shielding is needed
• Sheath material—LSOH is preferable in enclosed or public spaces for reduced smoke and toxic gas emissions
• Compatibility with device ports and PoE requirements

Usage recommendations

Use these SLIM Cat6A LightPatch cords for high-density, short-reach connections in racks, between adjacent switches, or at desktop endpoints where space is limited. Avoid using this 0.25 m length where longer reach is necessary; select the reinforced RJ45 plug orientation appropriate to your equipment to prevent strain on the connector.
