Equip Cat.6A U/UTP Slim Patch Cable 0.25m Black 10000 Mbit/s

The Equip Cat.6A U/UTP Slim Patch Cable 0.25m in black is a slim, high-performance networking cable designed for data centers, enterprise networks and high-density installations. With a reduced diameter (32 AWG) and a stranded bare copper conductor, it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz while offering improved cable management and airflow in crowded racks and patch panels.

Advantages

The unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) construction delivers reliable performance in low to moderate EMI environments, while the slim profile reduces space usage and eases routing. Molded boots with strain relief increase connector durability during frequent reconfigurations. The cable is RoHS compliant and manufactured with Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH/LSOH) jacket material for safer deployment in enclosed spaces.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centres and server rooms
• High-density patch panels and crowded rack environments
• Short patch connections between switches and patch panels (0.25 m)
• Power over Ethernet (PoE and PoE+) applications

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6A U/UTP (unshielded)
• Conductor: stranded bare copper, 32 AWG
• Bandwidth/frequency: up to 500 MHz
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s (10000 Mbit/s)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight male – RJ-45 straight male
• Jacket: LSZH/LSOH; colour: black
• Compliance: ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173, RoHS

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to a switch or network interface and the other RJ-45 plug to the patch panel or device requiring a short patch. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the slim cable neatly to maintain airflow and avoid sharp bends; the stranded conductor and molded boot with strain relief allow flexible handling during installation and reconfiguration.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this 0.25 m Cat.6A slim patch cable for short links within racks or between adjacent devices. Avoid running the cable alongside strong sources of electromagnetic interference and maintain bend radii recommended by the equipment manufacturer to prevent signal degradation.
