StarTech.com Ultra Slim Cat6a Ethernet Cable, 10 ft, Black, U/FTP, N6APATSTP34BKS-10FT

StarTech 10ft 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 Ultra Slim Cat6a Network Cable, part number N6APATSTP34BKS-10FT. This 10-foot black Ethernet cable supports reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet networking and is designed for dense server racks, data centers, workstations, and other installations where space and airflow are limited.

Improved Airflow and Flexible Routing

The Ultra Slim Cat6a patch cord is approximately 40% thinner than standard Cat6a cables, helping improve passive airflow and heat dissipation in crowded equipment areas. Its flexible TPE jacket makes it easier to route through narrow spaces, between devices, and across high-density patch panels. Snagless RJ45 connectors help protect the locking clips during installation and removal, reducing the risk of snags or connector damage.

Reliable Cat6a Performance

This StarTech.com cable uses 34 AWG pure bare copper conductors in a 4-pair U/FTP design with pair-level aluminum foil shielding to help reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts support precise mating and dependable signal transmission, while the translucent connector boots allow port-LED light to remain visible for faster link and troubleshooting checks. The cable supports Cat6a performance up to 500 MHz and complies with ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 requirements. It is RoHS-compliant and is not rated for Power over Ethernet applications.

Individually Tested for Consistent Results

Each N6APATSTP34BKS-10FT cable is individually tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer to verify signal integrity, including Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL) performance. This testing helps provide consistent, dependable connectivity for professional edge, on-premises, and high-speed network deployments. The cable is backed by StarTech.com's lifetime warranty for long-term installation confidence.
