Wirewin SLIM KAT6A 10 Gigabit Light Patch Cable, U/FTP, Ø 3.8mm, Orange, 0.1m (PKW-LIGHT-STP-K6A 0.1 OR)

10 Gigabit Ethernet over a 3.8 mm slim round cable: the SLIM WIREWINE PKW-LIGHT-STP-K6A 0.1 OR delivers Cat6A performance in a lightweight, space-saving design. With U/FTP shielding (foiled twisted pairs, unshielded overall) and a 500 MHz bandwidth, it supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 metres, making it ideal for high-density data centre patching, server rooms, and home office networks where airflow and cable management matter.

Overview

This 0.1 m orange patch cable is part of the PKW-LIGHT series, engineered for short, high-speed connections between network equipment in racks or wall outlets. The stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility, while the TIA/EIA 568B wiring standard guarantees compatibility with standard RJ45 ports. The slim 3.8 mm outer diameter reduces clutter and improves airflow in crowded racks, and the orange jacket allows quick identification of critical links.

What stands out

• Cat6A performance with 10 Gbps data transfer rate
• Ultra-slim 3.8 mm round cable for easy routing and better airflow
• U/FTP shielding: foiled twisted pairs reduce alien crosstalk
• Short 0.1 m length for neat, direct connections
• Orange colour for high visibility in dense patching fields
