Equip Cat.6A U/UTP Slim Patch Cable, 0.25m, Blue

The Equip Cat.6A U/UTP Slim Patch Cable 0.25m Blue is a slim, high-performance network patch cable designed for data centres, enterprise networks and high-density installations. With a reduced diameter (about 32 AWG) and a 0.25 m length, this cable improves cable management and airflow in crowded racks and patch panels while supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet and frequencies up to 500 MHz. The unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) construction and stranded bare copper conductors deliver reliable data transmission with flexibility for frequent reconfigurations.

Advantages

The slim 32 AWG design reduces bundle volume and helps maintain airflow in high-density environments. Rated for 500 MHz and 10 Gbit/s, the cable provides high bandwidth suitable for modern networks. Stranded bare copper conductors and a moulded boot with strain relief increase flexibility and connector durability. The cable is RoHS compliant, uses Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH/LSOH) materials and meets ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173 standards.

Suitable for

• Interconnections in data centres and server rooms
• High-density patch panels and cabinet installations
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and uplinks
• Power over Ethernet (PoE and PoE+) devices
• Short patch connections in office network closets

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connector on each end into the corresponding network ports (switch, patch panel, server or device). Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Use the 0.25 m cable for short patch connections where a slim profile and flexible routing are required. Avoid sharp bends and excessive strain on the cable; use the moulded boot with strain relief to reduce stress at the connector.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat.6A U/UTP slim patch cable in low to moderate EMI environments and for short patch runs within racks or between adjacent patch panels. Maintain bend radius recommendations from networking equipment manufacturers and avoid mixing with high-voltage power cables to minimise interference.
