StarTech.com 5ft Black Ultra Slim Cat6a Ethernet Cable - Snagless UTP Patch Cord with Bare Copper Wire

StarTech 5ft Black Ultra Slim CAT6a Ethernet Cable, Snagless, UTP, Bare Copper Wire, 34AWG Slim RJ45 Patch Cord

The StarTech.com Ultra Slim Cat6a Ethernet Cable is designed to deliver reliable 10Gbps network connectivity while optimizing space in dense IT environments. Its slim profile, which is approximately 40% thinner than standard Cat6a cables, allows for easier routing and improved airflow in crowded server racks and patch panels. This construction reduces heat buildup and enhances cooling efficiency, making it ideal for high-density network installations where space is at a premium. The translucent boot not only protects the RJ45 connector but also transmits port-LED light, facilitating quick link checks and troubleshooting without disrupting active connections. Its flexible TPE jacket ensures easy handling and withstands tight bends, contributing to a durable and reliable performance over time.

Features:

• Streamlined cabling in tight spaces: Ultra Slim Cat6a cables are 40% thinner than standard versions, enabling greater flexibility and easier routing in dense setups; supports full 10Gbps throughput over UTP for high-speed networks
