StarTech.com 3ft Blue Ultra Slim Cat6a Ethernet Patch Cable with Snagless Connectors

StarTech 3ft 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 offers a reliable high-speed network connection suitable for demanding data environments. Designed with a slim profile, this 3-foot Ethernet cable is 40% thinner than standard Cat6a cables, providing enhanced flexibility and airflow in dense network setups. Its U/FTP shielding with drain wire ensures stable 10Gbps performance by reducing electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, which is critical for maintaining optimal signal integrity in high-bandwidth applications. The durable TPE jacket supports tight bends and frequent handling, making it an ideal choice for high-density server racks and patch panels. Featuring 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts, the cable guarantees precise mating and minimal insertion loss, ensuring consistent data transfer and reducing signal degradation over time. Each cable undergoes stringent testing with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer to meet ANSI/TIA standards, providing assurance of minimal Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL). The translucent boot transmits port-LED indicators, facilitating quick link checks and troubleshooting. Crafted from bare copper conductors and RoHS-compliant materials, this cable combines performance, durability, and environmental responsibility, making it a dependable choice for IT professionals seeking high-performance cabling solutions.
