Network patch cord Slim Wirewine SLIM-LS-K6A CAT6A 10Gb 0.5m U/FTP RJ-45 orange (90-pack)

SLIM Patchcords CAT6A 10 Gigabit LightPatch Cord, 0.50 m, U/FTP, Ø 3.8 mm, orange — a slim, shielded Cat6A patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high-density installations. The round, four-pair cable uses U/FTP shielding and an LSOH outer sheath, and it is fitted with robust RJ‑45 plugs featuring a durable, break‑resistant latch. The small outer diameter and flexible construction make this 0.5 m patch cord suitable where space is limited or many connections are required.

Advantages

The LightPatch cable combines Cat6A performance for 10 Gbit/s data transfer with a very thin, highly flexible design (Ø 3.8 mm) and U/FTP shielding for reduced interference. The LSOH sheath provides flame retardance, while the specially designed RJ‑45 plug prevents latch breakage even after repeated bending. The cable supports Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af/at) and has an innovative narrow boot for easy connector access in crowded racks or panels.

Suitable for

• High‑density switch cabinets and crowded patch panels
• Short interconnects between switches or switch-to-panel connections
• Desk connections for VoIP phones, printers, PCs and notebooks
• Field technicians or service kits where compact patch cords are needed
• Industrial installations with limited space where shielded cable is required
• Discreet routing under carpets, along skirting boards or through tight seals

When it may not be suitable

This thin 0.5 m LightPatch cord is optimized for short patching runs and high‑density environments; it is not intended for permanent long‑distance horizontal cabling. In applications requiring heavy mechanical protection or frequent outdoor exposure, a thicker, more rugged cable with additional armouring or outdoor UV resistance would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A (channel measured)
• Data rate: up to 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Length: 0.50 m
• Shielding: U/FTP (foil around each pair with overall drain)
• Conductor: 4 pairs, AWG32, 100% copper
• Outer diameter: 3.8 mm
• Sheath material: LSOH (flame-retardant)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 straight male — both ends
• PoE support: IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at compatible
• Colour: Orange

How to use

Use this 0.5 m SLIM Cat6A LightPatch cord for short connections between switches, between a switch and a patch panel, or to connect end devices such as VoIP phones, printers and laptops. Insert RJ‑45 plugs into the corresponding ports until the latch clicks. The narrow boot and flexible cable simplify routing in congested cabinets and on desks. Avoid sharp kinks and maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius to preserve shielding and performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length — this product is 0.5 m long and intended for short patching runs
• Environment — indoor use, not intended as an outdoor or heavily armoured cable
• Port density and rack layout — thin cable and narrow boot aid high‑density installations
• Shielding need — U/FTP provides pair shielding; ensure proper grounding in shielded installations
• PoE requirements — supports IEEE 802.3af/at but verify power budget for connected devices

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gigabit performance keep runs short as intended, avoid sharp bends, and ensure proper termination and grounding of the U/FTP shield when used in shielded installations.
