Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6a patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps over distances up to 100 meters, with a bandwidth of 500 MHz. The UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction minimizes electromagnetic interference in typical office and data center environments. The cable features 4 twisted pairs (8 conductors) in a stranded configuration for flexibility and durability.
The TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) jacket provides flexibility and durability, withstanding tight bends without cracking. The outer diameter of 0.10 inches (2.60 mm) enables high-density cabling. Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable connections and corrosion resistance. Note: This cable is not rated for PoE applications.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
The Ultra Slim Cat6a patch cable addresses common cabling challenges in high-density IT environments without sacrificing performance. Its key advantages include space savings, improved airflow, and straightforward cable management.
These strengths make the product easier to deploy and manage in real environments, especially where reliability, usability, and day-to-day operational continuity matter. Notable benefits include Space-Saving Design.
Space-Saving Design
With a diameter 40% thinner than standard Cat6a cables, this patch cord fits easily in tight spaces and reduces cable bulk in racks, enabling better airflow and simpler troubleshooting.
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for connecting network devices in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise wiring closets. Its slim profile is especially useful in high-density patching scenarios where space is at a premium.
Use it to link switches to patch panels, routers to servers, or any RJ45-equipped network device requiring Cat6a performance. The 4-foot length is suitable for short horizontal runs within a rack or between adjacent equipment.
Data Center Racks
Improve airflow and reduce cable congestion in server racks with the ultra slim design. Easily route cables through narrow gaps and cable managers.
Network Closets
Streamline patching between switches and patch panels. The snagless boot and flexible TPE jacket simplify installation and removal.
Physical Profile
The cable measures 4 feet (1.22 meters) in length with an outer diameter of just 0.10 inches (2.60 mm). It weighs approximately 0.70 oz (19.84 g). The black TPE jacket is flexible and durable, while the translucent boot allows port LEDs to be visible. The snagless design protects the connector tab.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this cable?
This StarTech Ultra Slim Cat6a patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps, making it suitable for high-speed Ethernet networks including 10GBASE-T. It operates over a bandwidth of 500 MHz and is backward compatible with slower standards like Gigabit Ethernet.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
The cable is unshielded twisted pair (UTP), meaning it does not have additional shielding layers. UTP is suitable for most office and data center environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal. For areas with high EMI, a shielded (STP) cable may be recommended.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, this cable is not rated for PoE applications. The 34 AWG conductors are thinner than standard PoE cables and may not safely carry power. It is designed for data transmission only.
What is the advantage of the ultra slim design?
The ultra slim design (40% thinner than standard Cat6a cables) allows for easier routing in high-density patch panels and server racks. It improves airflow around equipment, reducing heat buildup, and simplifies cable management by taking up less space.
Does this cable come with a warranty?
Yes, this StarTech cable is backed by a lifetime limited warranty. Additionally, StarTech provides free 24/5 multilingual technical support for the life of the product.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
The cable has RJ45 male connectors on both ends, each with gold-plated contacts for reliable connectivity. The connector boot is snagless and translucent, allowing port LEDs to be visible for easy link identification.
