Equip Cat.6A U/UTP Slim Patch Cable, 1.5m, Black

The Equip Cat.6A U/UTP Slim Patch Cable 1.5m Black is a slim, high-performance network patch cable designed for data centres, enterprise networks and dense installations. With a 1.5 m length and a reduced-diameter 32 AWG construction, it improves cable management and airflow in crowded racks and patch panels while maintaining support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and frequencies up to 500 MHz. The unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) design and stranded bare copper conductors provide flexibility for frequent reconfigurations and reliable data transmission in low to moderate EMI environments.

Advantages

The slim 32 AWG profile reduces bundle volume and helps optimise rack airflow without sacrificing transmission performance up to 10 Gbit/s. Stranded bare copper conductors and moulded boots with strain relief give the cable durability and flexibility for repeated moves and re-patching. Compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173, RoHS and LSZH/LSOH materials ensures it meets common safety and installation standards.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• High-density patch panels and server racks
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within data centres and server rooms
• Office and home network connections where space is limited
• Power over Ethernet (PoE / PoE+) devices

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, patch panel or router) and the other to the target device (server, workstation or access point). Ensure connectors are fully inserted and the moulded boots with strain relief are positioned to avoid sharp bends near the connector. For optimal performance, avoid running the cable alongside strong electrical interference sources and maintain recommended bend radius for Cat.6A cabling.

Recommendations

Use this slim Cat.6A patch cable for short horizontal or patch connections up to 1.5 m in length inside racks and cabinets. For permanent horizontal cabling or environments with high EMI, consider using shielded cabling or permanent horizontal Cat.6A installations that meet site-specific requirements.
