Network Patch Cable Slim Wirewine SLIM-LS-K6A 3.0m Cat6A U/FTP RJ45 yellow 36-pack

SLIM Patchcords CAT6A 10 Gigabit LightPatch Cord, 3.0 m, U/FTP, Ø 3.8 mm, yellow — a slim, shielded Cat6A patch cable designed for high-density and 10 Gigabit network environments. The cable is round, consists of four twisted pairs with U/FTP shielding, and uses a flame-retardant LSOH sheath. It supports data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s and is built with a reinforced RJ-45 plug featuring a break-resistant latch.

Advantages

The light and extremely flexible construction reduces clutter in crowded server racks and cable channels while still meeting Cat6A performance requirements for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. A flame-retardant LSOH outer sheath increases safety in confined installations, and the specially designed RJ45 connector uses a durable material and an innovative boot that prevents latch breakage and simplifies plugging in tight spaces. The cable also supports Power over Ethernet according to IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at.

Suitable for

• High-density switch racks and crowded network cabinets
• Patching between switches, patch panels or short link connections where space is limited
• Desk-level connections for VoIP phones, printers, PCs and notebooks
• Field technicians’ patch cords carried in laptop bags
• Industrial or home installations that require space-saving Ethernet routing (under carpets, along skirtings, through window seals)

When it may not be suitable

This slim patch cord is intended for short to medium-length patching and high-density environments; it may not be the best choice for long permanent horizontal runs where thicker, less flexible cables or specific installation-rated cables are required. Environments requiring additional mechanical protection or armoured cables could need a different cable type.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A (channel measured)
• Data rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s (10 Gigabit)
• Cable length: 3.0 m
• Conductor: 4 twisted pairs, AWG32, 100% copper
• Shielding: U/FTP (individually foil-shielded pairs with overall drain)
• Outer diameter: 3.8 mm
• Sheath material: LSOH (flame-retardant)
• Connector: RJ45 straight male — reinforced plug with break-proof latch and short slim boot
• PoE: Supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Use the patch cord to connect network equipment such as switches, patch panels, routers, computers, VoIP phones and printers. The flexible slim design makes routing through cable channels and under furniture straightforward. Insert the RJ45 plugs into the corresponding ports until the latch clicks; to release, press the boot-protected latch and pull the connector out. For best performance, avoid excessive bending beyond normal routing and keep the length suitable for patching rather than long permanent runs.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether a 3.0 m patch cord fits your layout
• Whether Cat6A U/FTP shielding and slim diameter meet your electromagnetic environment and space constraints
• Need for PoE support (IEEE 802.3af/at)
• Whether you require a more robust or armoured cable for harsh or outdoor environments

Usage recommendations

For best results in high-density racks and short switch-to-panel connections, use this 3 m SLIM Cat6A U/FTP patch cord. Avoid routing through sharp bends or areas with heavy mechanical wear and select longer or more robust cables for permanent horizontal runs.
