Slim Wirewine CAT6A Patch Cord 10 Gigabit LightPatch, U/FTP, 3.0 m, RJ-45–RJ-45, green, 36-pack

SLIM Patchcords CAT6A LightPatch Cord is a thin, flexible 3.0 m patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The round U/FTP (shielded) cable has a 3.8 mm outer diameter and a flame-retardant LSOH sheath. The cable is constructed from four twisted pairs with AWG32 100% copper conductors and uses robust RJ45 straight male connectors with a reinforced, break-resistant latch. The product supports data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s and is compatible with Power over Ethernet (IEEE802.3af/at).

Advantages

The LIGHTpatchcable combines a very slim, highly flexible cable design with full Cat6A performance, allowing easy routing in cramped server racks, patch panels and crowded cable channels. The special connector boot and a durable latch material reduce the risk of connector breakage during repeated handling. The LSOH outer sheath provides flame-retardant protection while maintaining flexibility, and the U/FTP shielding supports reliable signal transmission for high-speed 10 Gigabit applications.

Suitable for

• High-density switches and crowded server/network cabinets where short, flexible patch cords are needed
• Patch connections between switches, switch-to-panel links, or short device connections without cable management
• Desk connections for VoIP phones, printers, PCs and notebooks where flexible, thin cables are preferred
• Field technicians and service bags as a compact patch cord for on-site work
• Industrial or space-constrained environments requiring shielded Ethernet
• Discreet home routing (under carpets, along skirting boards or through window seals)

When it may not be suitable

This slim LightPatch cable is optimized for short to medium patch lengths and high port-density environments. For long-distance permanent horizontal cabling or installations requiring thicker, mechanically rugged cables (for frequent outdoor exposure, heavy mechanical stress, or burial), a standard full-diameter Cat6A cable with heavier insulation and mechanical protection may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A (channel measured)
• Length: 3.0 m
• Conductor: 4 twisted pairs, AWG32, 100% copper
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall braid or foil with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Outer diameter: 3.8 mm
• Sheath material: LSOH (flame-retardant)
• Connector: RJ45 straight male × RJ45 straight male with reinforced latch
• Data rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s (10 Gigabit)
• Power over Ethernet: compatible with IEEE802.3af and IEEE802.3at
• Color: Green

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network switch or patch panel and the other to the target device (PC, VoIP phone, printer or another switch). Route the slim cable through tight spaces, cable channels or along desk edges as needed; the flexible construction and small diameter make positioning and bending easier than standard cables. Avoid sharp kinks and excessive tensile force when installing to preserve shielding integrity and connector reliability.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended cable length — this product is a 3.0 m patch cord suitable for short links
• Installation environment — suitable for indoor use and space-constrained areas; not designed for direct burial or outdoor exposure
• Required mechanical robustness — choose a thicker jacket if the cable will face heavy mechanical stress
• Shielding needs — U/FTP provides good protection against interference but requires compatible shielded connectors and properly grounded equipment

Usage recommendations

Use the SLIM Cat6A LightPatch Cord for short 10 Gigabit patch connections in high-density racks, between switches and to desktop devices. Ensure shield continuity by using shielded ports and proper grounding, and avoid sharp bends to maintain performance and connector durability.
