Network patch cord Slim Wirewine SLIM-LS-K6A CAT6A 10Gbps U/FTP RJ-45–RJ-45, 3.0 m, red, 36-pack

SLIM Patchcords CAT6A 10 Gigabit LightPatch Cord, 3.0 m, U/FTP, Ø 3.8 mm, red — a slim, shielded Cat6A patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The round, four-pair twisted cable uses U/FTP shielding and a low-smoke, halogen-free (LSOH) sheath. The cable is equipped with a reinforced RJ-45 plug featuring a durable, break-resistant latch and an innovative slim boot for easy pressing in confined spaces.

Advantages

The lightweight, extremely flexible 3.0 m cable simplifies patching in dense racks and high-port switches while supporting up to 10 Gb/s data transfer. U/FTP shielding and 100% copper AWG32 conductors provide reliable signal performance and allow Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at). The LSOH outer sheath adds flame-retardant properties, and the specially designed RJ45 plug resists latch breakage for improved durability.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches or from switch to patch panel in crowded server/network cabinets
• Connections for VoIP phones, printers, PCs and notebooks on desks where a flexible short cable is needed
• Field technicians carrying patch cords in laptop bags for quick on-site repairs
• Industrial or space-constrained environments requiring Ethernet connectivity
• Discrete routing under carpets, along skirting boards or through window seals at home

When it may not be suitable

This slim patch cord is intended for short-distance patching and equipment connections; it is not designed as a permanent in-wall or long-haul backbone cable. For installations requiring armored cable, outdoor UV-resistant sheathing, or longer fixed cabling distances, choose a cable specifically rated for those conditions.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A (channel measured)
• Data rate: up to 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gigabit)
• Cable length: 3.0 m
• Conductor: 4 pairs, AWG32, 100% copper
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall foil with individually foiled pairs)
• Outer diameter: 3.8 mm
• Sheath material: LSOH (low smoke, halogen-free)
• Connector: RJ-45 straight male — reinforced plug with break-resistant latch
• Support for Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af / IEEE 802.3at)
• Colour: Red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the switch, patch panel or network device and the other end to the endpoint (PC, phone, printer, notebook). The slim boot and flexible cable make routing in tight spaces and between closely spaced ports straightforward. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages; the reinforced latch allows repeated bending without breaking. For best performance, avoid excessive twisting or crushing and keep cable runs within recommended length for patch connections.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: short patching and device connections vs. permanent in-wall or outdoor cabling
• Required data rate and PoE support for your devices
• Physical routing constraints — cable diameter (3.8 mm) and flexible design
• Colour preference for cable management and identification (red)

Usage recommendations

Use these SLIM Cat6A LightPatch cables for short, high-density patching—install between nearby ports, in crowded racks, or on desks. Avoid using them as a permanent in-wall or outdoor solution; maintain gentle bends and clear pathways to preserve shielding and performance.
