Equip Cat.6A U/UTP Slim Patch Cable, 5.0m, White

The Equip Cat.6A U/UTP Slim Patch Cable 5m White is a slim, high-performance network patch cable for data centers, enterprise networks and high-density installations. With a reduced 32 AWG diameter and unshielded twisted pair design, it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and frequencies up to 500 MHz while saving space in crowded racks and improving airflow.

Advantages

The slim 32 AWG construction reduces cable bulk for easier cable management and better rack airflow without sacrificing 10G performance. Stranded bare copper conductors and molded boots with strain relief provide flexibility and durability for frequent reconfigurations. The cable is RoHS compliant and made with Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH/LSOH) jacket material for safer use in enclosed spaces.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• High-density patch panels and switch stacks
• Office and enterprise LAN wiring where space and airflow are limited
• 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 plug to the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click. Route the cable through cable management channels or ties as needed, avoiding sharp bends and tight loops to maintain signal integrity. For repeated moves, rely on the stranded conductor for flexibility.

Recommendations

Use this Cat.6A U/UTP slim patch cable in low to moderate EMI environments; for areas with strong electromagnetic interference, consider shielded cable variants. Maintain bend radius specified by industry guidelines and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce interference.
