StarTech.com 2ft Blue Ultra Slim Cat6A Ethernet Cable with Snagless Connectors

StarTech 2ft Blue Ultra Slim Cat6A Ethernet Cable, Snagless, FTP, Bare Copper Wire, 34AWG Slim RJ45 Patch Cord

The StarTech.com Ultra Slim Cat6A STP Patch Cable provides a reliable high-speed network connection up to 10Gbps, ideal for dense and high-performance IT environments. Its ultra slim design, being 40% thinner than standard Cat6a cables, allows for improved airflow and heat dissipation in confined spaces, making it perfect for patch panels and server racks with limited clearance. This flexibility facilitates easier cable routing, reducing installation time and minimizing cable clutter in crowded network setups. The translucent boot transmits port-LED light, enabling faster link diagnostics and troubleshooting without additional tools, thus enhancing operational efficiency. The cable's construction incorporates 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts for optimal mating and minimal insertion loss, ensuring stable and low-latency data transmission. Using 34 AWG bare copper conductors paired with U/FTP foil shielding and a drain wire, this cable effectively suppresses electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, maintaining signal integrity even in electrically noisy environments. The TPE jacket offers durability and flexibility, supporting tight bends and repeated handling without compromising performance. Each cable undergoes rigorous testing with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer™ to meet ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards, guaranteeing true Cat6a performance up to 500MHz with minimal Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL). This ensures dependable connectivity for bandwidth-intensive applications such as high-speed data transfer, streaming, and server communications. Designed specifically for professional IT deployments, this cable combines performance, reliability, and ease of installation, making it the preferred choice for network administrators seeking high-density cabling solutions that optimize airflow and simplify maintenance.
