Cable type and length

This is a 2 ft Cat6a Ethernet patch cable with RJ45 connectors on both ends. It is built for 10 Gigabit wired connections in network racks and data centres. The ultra-slim 4.0 mm jacket suits high-density installations where space is tight.

Wire gauge and bandwidth

The cable uses 28 AWG bare copper conductors in four twisted pairs and is rated for 500 MHz on the Cat6a standard. It supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 m and is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e equipment.

Fit for dense racks, not long runs

It suits installers who need many cables in a single rack unit and want better airflow around switches and servers. Buyers who need shielded construction or longer pre-made lengths should look at something else.

Questions about this item

What does the 10 Gigabit rating mean once the cable is plugged into my switch?

It supports 10GBASE-T at up to 100 meters and 500 MHz, so a 2 ft run will carry full 10 Gb/s line rate with margin to spare.

What does the Cat6a standard cap in practice for this cable?

The Cat6a rating guarantees 500 MHz bandwidth and 10 Gb/s up to 100 m; the 28 AWG conductors and 4.0 mm jacket keep insertion loss low on short patch-panel runs.

Will the 4.0 mm jacket and snagless boot fit my high-density patch panel?

Yes — the 4.0 mm outer diameter is far slimmer than standard 6.9 mm Cat6a cords, and the transparent slim snagless boot protects the locking clip in tight bundles.
