StarTech.com Ultra Slim Cat6a U/FTP Ethernet Cable, Black, 7 ft, N6APATSTP34BKS-7FT

StarTech 7ft 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-7FT. This 7-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 Routing

The Ultra Slim Cat6a cable is approximately 40% thinner than standard Cat6a cables, providing greater flexibility and easier routing through crowded racks, patch panels, and narrow spaces. Its slim profile helps improve passive airflow around network equipment while making ports more accessible for installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Snagless RJ45 connectors help protect the locking clips during installation and reduce the risk of catching or breaking when cables are routed between devices.

Reliable, Durable Construction

StarTech.com uses 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts for precise mating and dependable signal transmission. The 34 AWG pure bare copper conductors are arranged in four U/FTP foil-shielded pairs to help reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. A flexible thermoplastic elastomer jacket supports repeated handling and tight cable routing, while the translucent RJ45 boot allows port-LED light to remain visible for faster link-status checks. This cable is RoHS-compliant and is not rated for Power over Ethernet applications.

Tested Cat6a Performance

Each StarTech.com N6APATSTP34BKS-7FT 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 confirm consistent signal integrity with controlled Near-End Crosstalk and Return Loss, giving IT professionals a dependable connection for demanding edge, on-premises, and data center network environments.
