StarTech.com N6APATSTP34GRS-7FT Ultra Slim Cat6a Ethernet Cable, Gray

StarTech 7ft Gray 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 N6APATSTP34GRS-7FT Ultra Slim Cat6a Ethernet Cable. Designed for dependable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, this gray patch cable supports Cat6a performance up to 500 MHz while providing a slimmer, more flexible alternative to standard Cat6a cabling.

Improved Airflow and Routing

The Ultra Slim Cat6a patch cord is approximately 40% thinner than conventional Cat6a Ethernet cables, helping improve passive airflow and heat dissipation in dense server racks and equipment cabinets. Its flexible construction simplifies routing through crowded patch panels, narrow gaps, and high-density installations. Snagless RJ45 connectors help protect the locking clips during installation and removal, reducing the risk of snags or breakage.

Reliable, Durable Construction

This StarTech.com network cable uses 34 AWG pure bare copper conductors in a four-pair U/FTP design. Pair-level aluminum foil shielding and a drain wire help reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for stable signal transmission. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts support accurate mating and low insertion loss, while the flexible thermoplastic elastomer jacket provides durability for everyday network installations. Translucent RJ45 boots allow port LED light to remain visible, making link checks and troubleshooting easier. The cable is RoHS compliant and is not rated for Power over Ethernet applications.

Tested for Cat6a Performance

Each cable is individually tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer to meet ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 requirements for Cat6a performance. Testing helps verify signal integrity, including Near-End Crosstalk and Return Loss characteristics, for consistent high-speed network operation. Backed by StarTech.com's limited lifetime warranty, part number N6APATSTP34GRS-7FT is a practical choice for edge, on-premises, and other professional IT environments.
