Equip Cat.6A U/UTP Slim Patch Cable 0.5m Black 10000 Mbit/s

The Equip Cat.6A U/UTP Slim Patch Cable 0.5m is a slim, high-performance network cable designed for data centers, enterprise networks and high-density installations. With a reduced diameter (32 AWG) and flexible stranded copper conductors, the cable improves cable management and airflow in crowded racks while supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet and frequencies up to 500 MHz. The unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) design is suitable for environments with low to moderate electromagnetic interference and the molded RJ-45 connectors include strain relief for reliable connections.

Advantages

The slim 32 AWG construction reduces space usage and makes routing in patch panels and cable trays easier without sacrificing 10G performance. Stranded bare copper conductors and molded boots with strain relief provide flexibility and durability for frequent reconfiguration. The cable is RoHS compliant and made with Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH/LSOH) jacket material for improved safety in case of fire.

Suitable for

• High-density rack and patch panel installations
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections (10GBase-T)
• Short-link connections between switches, servers and patch panels
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, patch panel or NIC) and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the paired device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Use the cable for short patch connections within racks or between adjacent devices; avoid tight bends and sharp kinks to maintain performance and longevity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep run lengths within the recommended distances for Cat6A patching and avoid bundling large numbers of cables in a single conduit when possible. Route slim patch cables to preserve airflow in racks and verify that connected equipment supports 10GBase-T and PoE specifications as required.
