StarTech.com Ultra Slim Cat6a Ethernet Cable, 6-Inch Black U/FTP Patch Cord, N6APATSTP34BKS-6IN

StarTech 6in 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-6IN. This black 6-inch patch cord supports reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance and is designed for high-density network installations where space, airflow, and cable flexibility are important.

Improved Airflow and Flexible Routing

The Ultra Slim Cat6a cable is 40% thinner than standard Cat6a Ethernet 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 gaps, organize dense cable bundles, and access connected equipment during installation or troubleshooting. Snagless RJ45 connectors help protect the locking clips from damage and reduce snags while routing the cable between devices.

Reliable Construction

This StarTech.com patch cable uses 34 AWG pure bare copper conductors and U/FTP pair-level foil shielding with a drain wire to help reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts support precise mating and dependable signal transmission, while the flexible thermoplastic elastomer jacket provides durable protection for everyday network installations. The translucent RJ45 boot allows port-LED light to remain visible, making link-status checks easier. This cable is RoHS-compliant and is not rated for Power over Ethernet applications.

Tested Cat6a Performance

Each N6APATSTP34BKS-6IN 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 signal integrity, including low Near-End Crosstalk and Return Loss, for consistent connectivity in professional edge, on-premises, and high-density IT environments. Backed by StarTech.com's limited lifetime warranty, this ultra slim Ethernet cable provides a dependable solution for organized, space-conscious network cabling.
