StarTech.com 4ft Blue Ultra Slim Cat6a Ethernet Patch Cable, U/FTP, Snagless Connectors

StarTech 4ft Blue Ultra Slim CAT6a Ethernet Cable, Snagless, FTP, Bare Copper Wire, 34AWG Slim RJ45 Patch Cord

This StarTech.com 4ft Blue Ultra Slim Cat6a Ethernet Patch Cable is designed for high-performance network installations requiring reliable 10Gbps connectivity. Its ultra-slim profile, being 40% thinner than standard Cat6a cables, allows for easier routing in densely populated server racks and patch panels, improving airflow and reducing heat buildup. The flexible TPE jacket and snagless connectors facilitate quick, damage-free installation even in tight spaces, making it an ideal choice for IT professionals managing complex network setups. The cable’s U/FTP shielding with drain wire provides excellent EMI and crosstalk suppression, ensuring stable data transmission and minimal signal degradation. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts further enhance connection quality by reducing insertion loss and ensuring precise mating, which is critical for maintaining high-speed network performance. Each cable is individually tested using a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer to meet ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards for true Cat6a performance up to 500MHz, guaranteeing consistent signal integrity and minimal Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) and Return Loss (RL). The translucent boot transmits port-LED indicator lights, aiding quick link verification and troubleshooting. Constructed with a durable TPE jacket and shielded with aluminum foil, this cable is built to withstand everyday use in demanding environments. Its RoHS compliance ensures environmentally responsible manufacturing, while the lifetime warranty provides peace of mind for long-term deployments. Whether used in data centers, office networks, or high-density server racks, this cable offers a reliable, high-speed connection designed for the IT professional seeking durable, flexible, and efficient cabling solutions.
