Slim Wirewine SLIM Patchcords CAT6A 10 Gigabit LightPatch Cord 1.0m U/FTP RJ-45 grey 90-pack

SLIM Patchcords CAT6A LightPatch Cord is a thin, round, shielded network cable designed for 10 Gigabit applications. This 1.0 m patch cord uses U/FTP (foil over each pair) shielding, a 3.8 mm outer diameter and an LSOH (low smoke zero halogen) sheath. The cable is built with four twisted pairs of AWG32 100% copper conductors and a specially designed RJ45 plug with a break-proof latch to increase connector durability. The product is supplied without individual packaging and is available in grey.

Advantages

The cable combines a slim, highly flexible construction with Category 6A performance, enabling reliable data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s while keeping a small bending radius for tight installation spaces. The U/FTP shielding improves noise immunity and supports Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at). The flame-retardant LSOH outer sheath reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire. The reinforced RJ45 boot and break-proof latch reduce the risk of connector failure during frequent handling.

Suitable for

• High-density switch-to-switch or switch-to-panel connections in crowded racks or patch fields
• Desk connections for VoIP phones, printers, PCs and notebooks where a flexible, compact cable is required
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within structured cabling channels
• Industrial or space-constrained environments that require shielded cable and compact routing
• Technicians' patch cords carried in laptop bags for fieldwork and service
• Discreet routing under carpets, along skirting boards or through tight seals in residential settings

When it may not be suitable

This ultra-slim 3.8 mm cable is intended for short patching runs and dense installations; it is not designed for long horizontal backbone runs where lower attenuation and different installation practices are required. Installers who need higher mechanical robustness for heavy outdoor exposure, direct burial, or repeated tensile stress should select a cable specifically rated for those conditions.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A (channel tested)
• Length: 1.0 m
• Data transfer rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: U/FTP (foil per pair) — shielded
• Conductor: 4 twisted pairs, AWG32, 100% copper
• Outer diameter: Ø 3.8 mm
• Sheath material: LSOH (low smoke, zero halogen)
• Connector: RJ-45 straight male to RJ-45 straight male
• Colour: Grey
• PoE support: IEEE 802.3af / IEEE 802.3at

How to use

Use the patch cord to connect network ports on switches, patch panels, outlets and terminal devices. Align the RJ45 plug with the socket and insert until the latch clicks. The compact boot design allows easy pressing of the latch even in tight spaces. Route the cable along cable management paths or through small gaps; avoid sharp bends beyond the cable's bending radius and keep the run length to the intended short patch distances for optimal performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended run length and whether a slim 1.0 m patch cord meets your topology needs
• Need for shielding (U/FTP) in electrically noisy environments
• Compatibility with PoE requirements (IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at)
• Environmental conditions — indoor use and not suitable for direct burial or prolonged outdoor exposure
• Connector orientation and whether straight RJ45 plugs are appropriate for your equipment

Usage recommendations

For best results, use these 1.0 m SLIM CAT6A LightPatch cords for short patching between high-density ports and patch panels, avoid excessive twisting and sharp bends, and verify PoE and 10 Gigabit compatibility with your switch and endpoint equipment.
