StarTech.com Ultra Slim Cat6a Ethernet Cable, 14 ft, Black, U/FTP, N6APATSTP34BKS-14FT

StarTech 14ft 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 Ethernet Cable, part number N6APATSTP34BKS-14FT. This 14-foot black patch cable supports reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance and is designed for high-density server racks, data centers, offices, and other installations where efficient cable management is essential.

Improved Airflow and Flexible Routing

The Ultra Slim Cat6a design is 40% thinner than standard Cat6a cables, helping improve passive airflow and heat dissipation around densely populated network equipment. Its flexible TPE jacket makes routing easier through crowded racks, patch panels, and narrow spaces, while snagless RJ45 connectors help protect the clips from damage during installation and removal. Translucent boots allow port-LED light to remain visible, making link verification and troubleshooting faster.

Reliable Cat6a Performance

StarTech.com part N6APATSTP34BKS-14FT uses 34 AWG pure bare copper conductors in a four-pair U/FTP configuration. Pair-level aluminum Mylar foil shielding helps reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for consistent signal integrity. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts support precise mating and minimal insertion loss, while the durable TPE jacket provides dependable handling for everyday network installations. The cable is RoHS-compliant and intended for data networking applications; it is not rated for Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Individually Tested for Dependable Installation

Each 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 for Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL) helps provide dependable throughput and stable connections in professional networking environments. Backed by StarTech.com's Limited Lifetime Warranty, this cable offers a practical solution for organized, high-performance network connectivity.
