StarTech.com N6APATSTP34BKS-1FT Ultra Slim Cat6a Ethernet Cable, Black

StarTech 1ft Black Ultra Slim Cat6A Ethernet Cable, Snagless, FTP, Bare Copper Wire, 34AWG Slim RJ45 Patch Cord

Connect switches, routers, patch panels, and other high-speed network devices with the StarTech.com N6APATSTP34BKS-1FT Ultra Slim Cat6a Ethernet Cable. Designed for reliable 10Gbps networking, this black patch cable is well suited for dense server racks, data centers, offices, and other installations where efficient cable management is essential.

Improved Airflow and Routing

The StarTech.com Ultra Slim Cat6a cable uses a cable profile approximately 40% thinner than standard Cat6a cables, helping improve passive airflow and heat dissipation around connected equipment. Its flexible construction makes it easier to route through crowded racks, patch panels, and narrow spaces. Snagless RJ45 connectors help protect the locking tabs during installation and removal, reducing the risk of broken clips or snags on adjacent cables.

Reliable Cat6a Construction

Four unshielded foiled twisted pairs with 34 AWG pure bare copper conductors support dependable signaling and low resistance. Pair-level aluminum Mylar foil shielding helps reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while gold-plated RJ45 contacts promote precise mating and consistent signal transmission. The flexible thermoplastic elastomer jacket is durable for everyday handling, and the RoHS-compliant design supports environmentally responsible installations. This cable is not rated for Power over Ethernet applications.

Individually Tested Performance

Each StarTech.com N6APATSTP34BKS-1FT cable is individually tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer to meet ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 requirements for Cat6a performance up to 500 MHz. Testing helps verify signal integrity, low Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and controlled Return Loss (RL) for consistent 10 Gigabit Ethernet operation. Translucent RJ45 boots allow port-LED light to remain visible, making link checks and troubleshooting faster in high-density network environments.
