Network patch cord Slim Wirewine SLIM-LS-K6A 0.5m Cat6A U/FTP RJ-45 to RJ-45 yellow 90-pack

The SLIM Patchcords CAT6A 10 Gigabit LightPatch Cord is a shielded, ultra-flexible network cable designed for short patching runs. This 0.5 m U/FTP patch cord has a 3.8 mm outer diameter, a flame-retardant LSOH sheath and a reinforced RJ‑45 plug with a break‑resistant latch. It supports data rates up to 10 Gbit/s and is suitable for PoE on IEEE802.3af and IEEE802.3at standards.

Advantages

The cable’s slim, round design and thin diameter make it easy to route in crowded server racks, high-density switches and confined cable channels. Its U/FTP shielding and four twisted pairs deliver reliable performance for 10/1/0.1 Gbit/s links, while the LSOH outer sheath reduces fire risk. The specially engineered RJ‑45 connector resists latch breakage and the innovative boot allows simple pressing of the latch in a narrow, short form factor.

Suitable for

• Short patching between switches, patch panels and keystone modules
• High port-density switch environments and crowded server/network cabinets
• Desktop connections for VoIP phones, printers, PCs and notebooks
• Field technicians’ or service engineers’ patch cords carried in laptop bags
• Industrial or space-constrained installations requiring Ethernet and PoE
• Discrete home routing (under carpets, along skirting boards or through window seals)

When it may not be suitable

This 0.5 m LightPatch cord is intended for short point-to-point patching; it is not suitable for long-distance runs or permanent in-wall installations where longer, fixed cabling and different fire or mechanical ratings may be required. For environments demanding additional mechanical protection or outdoor UV resistance, a heavier-duty cable would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A (channel measured)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Shielding: U/FTP (individual pair foil, overall drain)
• Conductor: AWG32, 100% copper
• Outer diameter: 3.8 mm
• Sheath material: LSOH (low smoke, zero halogen), flame-retardant
• Connector type: RJ‑45 straight male to RJ‑45 straight male
• Data rate: up to 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Power over Ethernet: compatible with IEEE802.3af and IEEE802.3at
• Design: round, 4-pair twisted
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 end to the switch or patch panel port and the other end to the destination device or panel. The cable is designed for tight routing and repeated handling; press the boot to release the latch when unplugging. Do not use this short patch cord as a replacement for structured cabling backbones—use it for short interconnects in racks, on desks or between close ports.

What to consider before purchase

• Required length: 0.5 m is suitable only for short patching runs
• Environment: indoor use, not rated for outdoor or direct burial
• Mechanical protection: may need additional protection in high-abrasion areas
• Compatibility: intended for Cat6A performance and PoE up to IEEE802.3at

Usage recommendations

For best results, use these Slim Cat6A LightPatch cords in high-density racks and on switches with adjacent ports to minimise cable congestion. Avoid sharp bends below the cable’s bend radius and keep cables away from strong EMI sources despite shielding. Replace any cord with visible damage to the sheath or connectors.
