StarTech.com Ultra Slim Cat6a Ethernet Cable, Gray, 3 ft, N6APATSTP34GRS-3FT

StarTech 3ft Gray 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 Ethernet Cable, part number N6APATSTP34GRS-3FT. Designed for reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, this gray network cable supports Cat6a performance up to 500 MHz while helping streamline installations in dense server racks, patch panels, and other confined IT environments.

Improved Airflow and Flexible Routing

The StarTech.com Ultra Slim Cat6a cable is approximately 40% thinner than standard Cat6a cables, allowing more cables to fit in crowded spaces while promoting improved passive airflow and heat dissipation. Its flexible thermoplastic elastomer jacket makes routing around equipment easier, while snagless RJ45 connectors help protect the locking clips from damage during installation and removal. Translucent connector boots allow port LEDs to remain visible, simplifying link checks and troubleshooting.

Reliable, Durable Construction

This Ultra Slim Cat6a patch cord uses 34 AWG pure bare copper conductors and U/FTP pair-level foil shielding with a drain wire to help reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts support accurate mating and dependable signal transmission, while the durable TPE jacket provides flexibility for everyday network installations. The cable is RoHS compliant and is not rated for Power over Ethernet applications.

Tested Cat6a Performance

Each StarTech.com N6APATSTP34GRS-3FT cable is individually tested with a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer to help verify compliance with ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 requirements. Testing helps ensure consistent signal integrity, controlled Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and low Return Loss (RL) for dependable high-speed networking. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, this cable is a practical choice for edge, on-premises, and high-density network deployments.
