Equip Cat.6A U/UTP Slim Patch Cable 3.0m Red 10000 Mbit/s

The Equip Cat.6A U/UTP Slim Patch Cable 3.0m in red is a slim, high-performance network patch cable designed for data centers, enterprise networks and high-density installations. With a reduced diameter (32 AWG) and a 3 m length, it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz while offering flexible stranded copper conductors and RJ-45 connectors for easy plug-and-play connections.

Advantages

The slim 32 AWG construction reduces cable bulk to improve airflow and cable management in crowded racks and patch panels without sacrificing 10G performance. Unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) design provides reliable operation in environments with low to moderate electromagnetic interference, while molded boots with strain relief increase connector durability during frequent reconfigurations. The cable is RoHS compliant and available in LSZH/LSOH jacket material.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• High-density patch panels and rack installations
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices such as IP phones, cameras and access points
• Office and enterprise LAN wiring where space and airflow are constrained

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port on your switch, patch panel or device and the other plug to the corresponding port on your server, workstation or network appliance. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click. Route the cable through cable management or patch panels taking advantage of the slim profile to maintain airflow and tidy runs. For PoE devices, verify the power sourcing equipment supports the required power class.

Recommendations

Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force; maintain bend radius recommended by the rack or panel manufacturer. Use in environments with low to moderate EMI; for high-EMI areas consider shielded solutions. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace if the molded boot or contacts are compromised.
