Network Patch Cord Slim Wirewine SLIM-LS-K6A 1.0m Cat6A U/FTP RJ-45 to RJ-45, Ø 3.8mm, red, 90-pack

SLIM Patchcords CAT6A 10 Gigabit LightPatch Cord, 1.0m, U/FTP, Ø 3.8mm, red is a thin, round, shielded Cat6A patch cable designed for high-density and space-constrained network installations. The cable uses four individually shielded pairs (U/FTP), a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSOH) sheath and a reinforced RJ45 plug with a break-resistant latch. It supports data rates up to 10 Gbit/s and is compatible with Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af/at).

Advantages

The LIGHTpatch cable combines a very small outer diameter (approx. 3.8 mm) with high flexibility, allowing easy routing in crowded racks, cable channels or along desks. Its flame-retardant LSOH outer sheath reduces smoke and hazardous gases in case of fire, while the specially designed RJ45 connector and boot minimize the risk of latch breakage and simplify handling in tight spaces. The cable has been tested both as a patchcord and in channel configurations for 10 Gigabit performance.

Suitable for

• Patching between high‑density switches and patch panels in crowded server cabinets
• Short connections between network devices (switch-to-switch, switch-to-panel)
• Connecting desk devices such as VoIP phones, printers, PCs and notebooks
• Field and technician kits where a compact, flexible patch cord is needed
• Space-limited or industrial installations requiring shielded Cat6A cabling

When it may not be suitable

This light, thin patch cord is optimized for short patching runs and high-density environments; it may not be the best choice for long permanent horizontal runs where thicker, more robust structured cabling is required. Also, while it supports PoE standards, installations with unusually high current or nonstandard PoE implementations should be validated for thermal and mechanical suitability.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A (channel measured)
• Data transfer rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Length: 1.0 m
• Conductor: 4 twisted pairs, AWG32, 100% copper
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded with individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Outer diameter: approx. 3.8 mm
• Sheath material: LSOH (low-smoke, zero-halogen)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 straight male to RJ‑45 straight male
• PoE: supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at
• Colour: red

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plugs to the network ports of your devices (switch, patch panel, or endpoint). Use the 1.0 m length for short patching runs in racks, between adjacent switches or from switch to wall outlet. The thin, flexible cable makes routing under desks, along cable trays or through narrow gaps straightforward. Press the latch until it clicks to lock the connector; the reinforced latch and boot allow repeated bending without breakage.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: designed for short patching runs and high‑density environments, not for long permanent horizontal cabling
• Length: 1.0 m may be too short for some layouts—measure your run before buying
• Shielding requirements: U/FTP offers individual pair shielding—ensure your environment requires/benefits from shielded cabling and proper grounding
• PoE power: supports IEEE 802.3af/at but verify power and thermal constraints in dense PoE deployments
• Colour preference: product is red—confirm this fits your colour-coding scheme

Usage recommendations

For best results use these SLIM Cat6A LightPatch cords for short interconnects in high-density racks or for tidy desk connections. Ensure proper grounding when deploying shielded U/FTP cabling and avoid using this thin patch cord for long permanent horizontal runs where full-size installation cables are required.
