Network patch cord Slim Wirewine SLIM-LS-K6A CAT6A 10Gb 2.0 m U/FTP RJ-45 grey 60-pack

SLIM Patchcords CAT6A LightPatch Cord is a slim, shielded 2.0 m Ethernet patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit networks. The round U/FTP (STP) cable has a 3.8 mm outer diameter, LSOH flame-retardant sheath and two RJ‑45 straight male connectors. The cable is built for flexible routing in high-density racks, office desks and confined spaces while supporting data rates up to 10 Gbit/s and Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af/at).

Advantages

The LightPatch design combines a very thin and highly flexible cable construction with full shielding (U/FTP) to maintain signal integrity for 10 Gigabit applications. The LSOH outer sheath reduces flammability, and the specially formulated RJ‑45 plug features a break‑resistant latch and an innovative short boot that makes pressing the latch easier and reduces strain on the connector.

Suitable for

• High‑density server and network cabinets where space and airflow are limited
• Switches with many ports — short, flexible patch cords between switch-to-switch or switch-to-panel
• Desk connections for VoIP phones, printers, PCs and notebooks where flexible routing is required
• Industrial or field environments requiring Ethernet connectivity in tight spaces
• Technicians’ carry cases as a compact patch cord for on-site service
• Home installations where a thin cable is routed under carpets, along skirting or through window seals

When it may not be suitable

Because of its slim 3.8 mm diameter and lighter construction, this cable is optimized for patching and short runs rather than long permanent horizontal cabling between floors or long backbone links. In installations where mechanical robustness or heavy pulling forces are expected, a thicker industrial or riser-rated cable may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Category: 6A (channel measured)
• Data transfer rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Shielding: U/FTP (each pair foil‑shielded, overall unshielded braid not present)
• Conductor: 4 twisted pairs, AWG 32, 100% copper conductors
• Outer diameter: Ø 3.8 mm
• Sheath material: LSOH (flame‑retardant)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 straight male — both ends
• Length: 2.0 m
• PoE support: IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at

How to use

Connect the RJ‑45 plugs into the Ethernet ports of switches, patch panels, routers or endpoint devices. The slim, flexible cable is intended for short patch runs and can be routed through narrow channels, under desks or carpet. Press the latch on the RJ‑45 plug to insert and release; the special break‑resistant latch and compact boot reduce the risk of connector damage during frequent handling.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended cable run length — this 2.0 m cord is optimized for short patching tasks, not long permanent links
• Mechanical stress — choose a heavier‑duty cable if the installation requires frequent pulling or exposure to rough handling
• Shielding requirements — U/FTP provides pair shielding suitable for environments with interference; ensure your equipment and grounding support shielded cabling

Usage recommendations

Use these SLIM CAT6A LightPatch cords for short, high‑density patching where flexibility and low profile routing matter. Ensure proper shielding termination and grounding when deploying in electrically noisy environments to maintain 10 Gbit/s performance.
