Network patch cable Slim Wirewine SLIM-LS-K6A 10Gb CAT6A U/FTP RJ45–RJ45 2.0m yellow (60-pack)

SLIM Patchcords CAT6A 10 Gigabit LightPatch Cord, 2.0m, U/FTP, Ø 3.8mm, yellow, 60-Pack is a thin, round, shielded Cat6A patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and frequent patching in space-constrained environments. The cable features a flame-retardant LSOH sheath, four twisted pairs with U/FTP shielding, AWG32 100% copper conductors and a reinforced RJ‑45 plug with a break‑resistant latch. It is supplied in bulk (60 pieces) without individual packaging and is suitable for Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af/at).

Advantages

The SLIM LightPatch cord combines an extremely slim and flexible round design with full Cat6A performance for 10 Gigabit networks. Its LSOH outer sheath provides flame retardance while the U/FTP construction and 100% copper AWG32 conductors ensure reliable signal transmission. The special RJ‑45 connector and reinforced boot reduce the risk of latch breakage and allow repeated bending without damage, and the narrow cable diameter (Ø 3.8 mm) simplifies routing in crowded racks, cable channels and desktop environments.

Suitable for

• Patching in overcrowded server racks and network cabinets
• High‑density switches and short interconnects between switch and patch panel
• Connecting end devices at desks (VoIP phones, printers, PCs, notebooks)
• Industrial or field applications where space is limited and flexibility is required
• Technicians’ patch cords in laptop bags for on‑site work
• Discreet home routing (under carpets, along skirting boards or through window seals)

When it may not be suitable

This slim 3.8 mm cable is optimised for short runs and high port density patching rather than long permanent horizontal cabling; for long-distance backbone runs or installations requiring thicker conductor gauges for lower attenuation you should consider standard full-sized Cat6A cables. The lightweight AWG32 conductors are suitable for typical PoE up to the IEEE 802.3at standard, but very high-current PoE++ (higher classes) may require cables with larger conductor cross-sections.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A (channel measured)
• Data rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s (10 Gigabit)
• Shielding: U/FTP (individually foil‑shielded pairs with overall drain/foil)
• Conductor: AWG32, 100% copper, 4 twisted pairs
• Outer diameter: 3.8 mm
• Sheath material: LSOH (flame‑retardant)
• Connector: RJ‑45 straight male to RJ‑45 straight male
• Length: 2.0 m
• PoE support: IEEE 802.3af / IEEE 802.3at
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Plug the RJ‑45 connector into the network device or patch panel until the latch clicks into place. Use the 2.0 m length for short interconnections between switches, patch panels and endpoint devices. Avoid tight bending radii below the cable’s specification and route the cable through racks, cable channels or along desk edges as required. The reinforced boot and break‑resistant latch allow frequent reconnections without compromising connector integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended cable run length — optimised for short patching and high‑density connections (2.0 m length)
• PoE power class required — suitable for IEEE 802.3af/at but not for the highest PoE++ currents without checking power loss
• Environmental routing — LSOH sheath is flame‑retardant but check mechanical protection if run under carpets or through moving parts
• Colour preference for cable management — product is yellow

Usage recommendations

The SLIM Cat6A LightPatch cord is best used for short, high-density connections where a slim, flexible cable and a durable RJ‑45 latch reduce clutter and maintenance. For backbone runs or very high PoE currents select a full‑size Cat6A cable with larger conductors.
