Slim Wirewine SLIM Patchcords CAT6A 10 Gigabit LightPatch Cord 1.5m U/FTP RJ-45 grey, 60-pack

The SLIM Patchcords CAT6A 10 Gigabit LightPatch Cord is a 1.5 m shielded patch cable designed for high-density network environments. The round, ultra-flexible cable has a 3.8 mm outer diameter, U/FTP (STP) shielding, a flame-retardant LSOH sheath and durable RJ‑45 connectors with a reinforced, break-resistant latch. It supports data rates up to 10 Gbit/s and is suitable for Power over Ethernet according to IEEE802.3af and IEEE802.3at.

Advantages

The thin, highly flexible design simplifies cabling in overcrowded racks, cable channels or on desks where space is limited. U/FTP shielding and four twisted pairs maintain signal integrity for 10 Gigabit transmission while the LSOH outer sheath provides flame retardancy. A specially designed boot and a reinforced RJ‑45 latch reduce the risk of connector breakage and allow repeated bending without damage.

Suitable for

• Patch connections in high-density server or network cabinets
• Short connections between switches and patch panels with limited space
• Desktop devices such as VoIP phones, printers, PCs and notebooks
• Industrial or field environments where compact Ethernet cabling is required
• Technicians’ or installers’ tool bags for on-site troubleshooting
• Discreet home installations, for routing under carpets or through narrow gaps

When it may not be suitable

This slim patch cord is optimized for short to moderate link lengths and high-density routing rather than long-distance permanent links. For horizontal or backbone runs over long distances, or where maximum mechanical protection is required, a thicker, more robust cable or structured cabling solution may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 6A (channel performance measured)
• Data rate: up to 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Conductor: 4 twisted pairs, AWG32, 100% copper
• Outer diameter: Ø 3.8 mm
• Sheath material: LSOH (flame-retardant)
• Connectors: RJ‑45 straight male — both ends
• PoE support: compatible with IEEE802.3af and IEEE802.3at
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Insert the RJ‑45 plug into compatible Ethernet ports on switches, patch panels or devices until the latch clicks. The reinforced latch and slim boot design allow easy handling in tight spaces; press the boot to release the connector. Route the cable gently to avoid sharp bends that could stress the conductors, and avoid placing heavy objects on the cable to maintain performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended cable length: 1.5 m is best for short patching and switch-to-switch links
• Application environment: slim profile for high-density or confined spaces
• Required data rate and PoE support: supports 10 Gbit/s and IEEE802.3af/at
• Mechanical protection needs: consider more robust cables for harsh or outdoor use

Usage recommendations

Use these SLIM CAT6A LightPatch cords for short, high-density connections where space is limited; avoid using them as long-distance backbone cables and ensure gentle bends to preserve transmission quality.
