StarTech.com Ultra Slim Cat6a U/FTP Ethernet Network Cable, Black, 3 ft, N6APATSTP34BKS-3FT

StarTech 3ft 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-3FT. This black 3-foot Ethernet patch cable supports reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance and is designed for high-density server racks, data centers, and other installations where space, airflow, and cable management are important.

Flexible Design for Dense Installations

The Ultra Slim Cat6a cable is approximately 40% thinner than standard Cat6a cables, helping improve airflow and heat dissipation around network equipment. Its flexible construction makes routing easier through crowded racks, patch panels, and narrow spaces. Snagless RJ45 connectors help protect the locking clips during installation, while translucent boots allow port-LED light to remain visible for faster link checks and troubleshooting.

Reliable Cat6a Performance

This StarTech.com cable uses 34 AWG pure bare copper conductors in a four-pair Unshielded Foiled Twisted Pair (U/FTP) design. Pair-level aluminum Mylar foil shielding and a drain wire help reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for stable signaling. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts support precise mating and low insertion loss, while the durable thermoplastic elastomer jacket provides flexibility for everyday network installations. The cable is RoHS compliant and is not rated for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.

Tested for Network Reliability

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 helps verify signal integrity, including Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL), for dependable high-speed connectivity. Backed by StarTech.com’s lifetime warranty, the N6APATSTP34BKS-3FT provides a practical solution for professional and on-premises network environments.
