STARTECH N6APATSTP34BLS-10FT network ethernet cable 10ft Cat6a 34AWG blue

Ultra-slim 10 ft Cat6a patch cable

This 10 ft Cat6a U/FTP cable uses 34AWG bare copper conductors and a TPE jacket that is 40% slimmer than standard Cat6a, making it easy to route through tight cable management channels. Pair-level foil shielding reduces EMI and crosstalk while the snagless RJ45 plugs with 50-micron gold-plated contacts ensure reliable mating. It is tested to ANSI/TIA 568 C.2-1 Cat6a requirements on a Fluke DSX2-8000 CableAnalyzer and supports up to 10Gbps data rates. The blue colour aids quick identification in dense patch panels.

Check connector clearance and PoE needs

Verify that the ultra-slim 34AWG profile and snagless boot dimensions fit the port spacing on your switch, router or keystone jack before ordering. The manufacturer states the cable is not rated for Power over Ethernet, so it must not be used for PoE, PoE+ or PoE++ devices that require the cable to carry DC power. Ensure your network equipment negotiates 10Gbps or lower speeds, as the cable is qualified to Cat6a performance only.

Foil shielding and gold contacts improve signal

The U/FTP construction wraps each twisted pair in foil, suppressing alien crosstalk and external interference without adding bulk. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation over repeated insertions, maintaining low contact resistance. The TPE jacket remains flexible in cold temperatures and resists kinking during installation. No software, drivers or additional accessories are included with the cable.
