StarTech.com Ultra Slim Cat6a Ethernet Cable, Gray, 5 ft, N6APATSTP34GRS-5FT

StarTech 5ft 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 Ultra Slim Cat6a Ethernet Cable, part number N6APATSTP34GRS-5FT. This gray, 5-foot patch cable supports reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance and is designed for dense network racks, server rooms, workstations, and other installations where space and airflow are limited.

Flexible Design for Crowded Installations

The Ultra Slim Cat6a patch cord is approximately 40% thinner than standard Cat6a cables, making it easier to route through narrow gaps and crowded patch panels. Its flexible thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) jacket supports tight bends while improving access for installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The slim profile also helps promote passive airflow around network equipment and cable bundles.

Reliable Signal Performance

This cable uses 34 AWG pure bare copper conductors in a four-pair U/FTP design. Individual aluminum Mylar foil shielding helps reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting dependable transmission at frequencies up to 500 MHz. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide accurate mating and consistent connectivity, while snagless connectors help protect the modular plugs from catching or breaking during installation. Translucent RJ45 boots allow port LED light to remain visible for faster link-status checks.

Tested and Compliance-Focused Construction

Each StarTech.com N6APATSTP34GRS-5FT cable is individually tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer to verify Cat6a performance in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 requirements. Testing helps ensure consistent signal integrity, including controlled Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL). The cable is RoHS compliant and backed by a limited lifetime warranty. This cable is not rated for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.
