Slim Wirewine CAT6A Patch Cord 10 Gigabit LightPatch, U/FTP, RJ-45–RJ-45, 1.5 m, yellow, 60-pack

SLIM Patchcords CAT6A 10 Gigabit LightPatch Cord, 1.5 m, U/FTP, Ø 3.8 mm, yellow — a thin, shielded Cat6A patch cable designed for high-density networks and 10 Gigabit data transfer. The round, four-pair twisted cable uses U/FTP shielding and an LSOH outer sheath, combining flexibility with flame-retardant protection. The connector features a reinforced, break-resistant latch and a specially designed boot for easy pressing in confined spaces.

Advantages

The lightweight, slim design reduces bulk in crowded server racks, patch panels and cable channels while still supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet and PoE (IEEE 802.3af/at). The U/FTP shielding provides improved EMI protection compared with unshielded cables, and the LSOH sheath limits smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire. The reinforced RJ45 plug and innovative boot reduce the risk of latch breakage and simplify handling in tight installations.

Suitable for

• High-density switch cabinets and crowded patch panels where space is limited
• Short inter-switch or switch-to-panel connections in data centers
• Desktop connections for VoIP phones, printers, PCs and notebooks
• Portable patch cords for technicians and field staff in service bags
• Industrial environments requiring compact Ethernet cabling
• Home use where a slim cable is routed under carpets, along skirtings or through window seals

When it may not be suitable

This slim patch cord is not intended for permanent in-wall installations where local regulations require riser or plenum-rated cables. Extremely long horizontal runs beyond standard patchcord lengths are also not appropriate — this product is designed for short connections up to its stated 1.5 m length.

Key specifications

• Category: 6A (channel measured)
• Data transfer rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s
• Length: 1.5 m
• Conductor: 4 pairs, AWG32, 100% copper
• Shielding: U/FTP (individually foil-shielded pairs within overall shield)
• Outer diameter: Ø 3.8 mm
• Sheath material: LSOH (flame retardant)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 straight male to RJ‑45 straight male
• Colour: Yellow
• Supports Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af / IEEE 802.3at)

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network switch, patch panel or device port and the other plug to the corresponding port on the destination device. The slim, flexible cable can be routed through tight spaces and bent gently to follow cable channels or desk surfaces. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks; the reinforced latch allows repeated handling without breaking. Use the 1.5 m length for short patch connections only.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: designed for short patch connections (1.5 m), not for permanent in-wall runs
• Cable rating: LSOH — suitable where low smoke and halogen-free behaviour is required
• Shielding requirement: U/FTP provides improved EMI protection but requires properly grounded equipment and panels
• Colour preference: yellow for visual identification in installations

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this slim Cat6A patch cord for short, high-density connections in server rooms, switches and desktop setups; ensure patch panels and switch ports provide a proper ground when using shielded cables.
