StarTech.com Ultra Slim Cat6a Ethernet Cable, 5 ft, Black, N6APATSTP34BKS-5FT

StarTech 5ft 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-5FT. This 5-foot black patch cable supports reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance and is designed for high-density network installations where space, airflow, and cable management are important.

Improved Airflow and Flexible Routing

The Ultra Slim Cat6a Patch Cord is 40% thinner than standard Cat6a cables, helping improve passive airflow and heat dissipation in crowded server racks and patch panels. Its flexible construction makes it easier to route through narrow spaces and around densely packed equipment. Snagless RJ45 connectors help protect the locking clips during installation while reducing the risk of snags or breakage.

Reliable Cat6a Performance

U/FTP pair-level foil shielding with a drain wire helps reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while 34 AWG pure bare copper conductors support dependable signal transmission. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide precise mating and low insertion loss. A flexible thermoplastic elastomer jacket adds durability for everyday network installations, and the translucent RJ45 boots allow port-LED light to remain visible for faster link checks. This cable is RoHS-compliant and is not rated for Power over Ethernet applications.

Individually Tested for Reliability

Each StarTech.com N6APATSTP34BKS-5FT 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 consistent signal integrity, including controlled Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL), for dependable connectivity in edge, on-premises, and structured cabling environments.
