StarTech.com N6APATSTP34BKS-2FT Ultra Slim Cat6a Ethernet Cable, Black

StarTech 2ft 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-2FT Ultra Slim Cat6a Ethernet Cable. Designed for dense IT environments, this black network cable supports dependable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance and provides a flexible alternative to standard Cat6a patch cords.

Flexible Design for High-Density Installations

The Ultra Slim Cat6a patch cord is approximately 40% thinner than standard Cat6a cables, helping improve airflow and heat dissipation in crowded racks and equipment areas. Its flexible thermoplastic elastomer jacket makes routing easier around patch panels, switches, and other devices, while snagless RJ45 connectors help protect the clips during installation and removal.

Reliable Signal Performance

StarTech.com part number N6APATSTP34BKS-2FT uses 34 AWG pure bare copper conductors in a 4-pair U/FTP configuration. Pair-level aluminum Mylar foil shielding helps reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable high-speed data transmission. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts promote accurate mating and low insertion loss, while translucent connector boots allow port-LED light to remain visible for faster link checks.

Tested and Compliant

Each cable is individually tested with professional cable-analysis equipment to meet ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 requirements for Cat6a performance up to 500 MHz. Testing helps verify signal integrity, including Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL). The cable is RoHS-compliant and backed by a limited lifetime warranty. It is not rated for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.

Features:

• Streamline cabling in tight spaces: Ultra Slim Cat6a construction is approximately 40% thinner than standard Cat6a cable for improved flexibility, airflow, and routing in dense IT installations.
• Support high-speed networking: U/FTP pair-level foil shielding, a drain wire, and 34 AWG pure bare copper conductors support reliable 10 Gbps Ethernet performance.
• Improve connection reliability: 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide precise mating and help minimize insertion loss.
• Simplify installation and troubleshooting: Flexible TPE jacketing supports tight cable paths, while snagless connectors protect RJ45 clips and translucent boots keep port-LED indicators visible.
• Meet Cat6a performance requirements: Individually tested to ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards for performance up to 500 MHz, with verification for NEXT and Return Loss.
• Designed for compliant installations: Black TPE jacket construction is RoHS-compliant and the cable is not rated for PoE applications.
