ARCTIC

ARCTIC Cat6A Slim Ethernet Cable 28AWG 550MHz 5ft White 10-pack 2 in 1 accessory

SKU CH-XCEY-JSAX8

A ten-pack of slim Cat6A patch cables rated for 550 MHz bandwidth and 10 Gbps speeds, built with 28 AWG pure copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 plugs for reliable LAN connections

  • 10 Gbps bandwidth for 4K streaming and cloud backups
  • 550 MHz Cat6A rating supports future network upgrades
  • 28 AWG slim profile routes easily in tight spaces
  • 50 micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion
  • 100 % bare copper conductors ensure reliable signal integrity

Slim Cat6A cable for dense installs

The ARCTIC Cat6A Slim Ethernet Cable uses 28 AWG conductors in a 5 ft white jacket. Each of the ten cables carries a 550 MHz bandwidth rating and supports 10 Gbps data rates. Backward compatibility with Cat5 and Gigabit networks lets the pack serve mixed environments. The TIA/EIA-568B wiring suits standard LAN drops.

Low heat and silent passive operation

Copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 plugs run without active cooling, so the cables add no noise or measurable heat to a rack. The slim profile reduces airflow obstruction in tight cable managers. UL and RoHS listings confirm the materials meet baseline safety and substance rules. Power draw is limited to the connected ports.

Sustained 10 Gbps throughput under load

Continuous server, cloud-storage and 4K streaming traffic stays at line rate because the 550 MHz headroom exceeds the Cat6A specification. The 50 micron gold contacts resist oxidation during long-term mating cycles. Booted strain relief protects the termination when cables are routed through dense patch panels. The ten-pack provides spares for permanent infrastructure.

Questions about this item

How do I plug the 28 AWG Cat6A cable into a router without damaging the 50 micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts?

Align the boot clip with the port, push straight in until it clicks, and avoid twisting the slim 28 AWG jacket — the boot protects the 50 micron gold pins during insertion.

What part of the 10-pack will wear out first with daily unplugging?

The boot latch on each RJ45 plug is the first wear point; the 50 micron gold plating on the contacts resists corrosion far longer than the plastic clip survives repeated cycles.

At what distance does the 550 MHz bandwidth limit 10 Gbps throughput on these 5 ft cables?

The 5 ft length stays well within the 100 m Cat6A channel limit, so the 550 MHz rating supports full 10 Gbps without distance-related degradation.
