STARTECH N6APATUTP34BKS-6IN network ethernet cable 6in Cat 6a 34AWG

Ultra-Slim 6-Inch Cat 6a Patch Cord

This six-inch Cat 6a cable uses 34 AWG bare copper conductors to deliver up to 10 Gbps over a very short reach. Its ultra-slim profile is forty percent thinner than standard Cat 6a cords, making it ideal for dense patch panels or tight device ports where airflow and cable management are priorities.

Sustained 10 Gbps Over Minimal Distance

Because the run is only fifteen centimetres, the cable maintains its rated 10 Gbps throughput without the signal degradation that longer unshielded runs can exhibit. The pure bare copper cores and gold-plated contacts preserve signal integrity across repeated mating cycles in high-density racks or stacked switches.

Cat 6a UTP Limits at Six Inches

The unshielded twisted-pair construction meets Cat 6a specifications for alien crosstalk and return loss at this length, but it cannot compensate for the greater attenuation and interference susceptibility that appear on longer UTP runs. Installers needing extended distances or noisy environments should specify shielded or larger-gauge alternatives.
