Ultra-slim Cat6a patch cable for dense racks

The Cable Leader 2ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired link in an orange 4.0 mm jacket that is far thinner than the typical 6.9 mm Cat6a cord. It uses 28AWG bare copper conductors in four twisted pairs terminated with 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The transparent slim snagless boot protects the locking clip during routing and re-patching in tight spaces.

Drop-in upgrade from bulkier Cat6a or Cat6 cords

This cable supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 metres at 500MHz on the Cat6a standard and remains fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e equipment. The slim 28AWG construction lets more cables fit per rack unit, keeps bend radii tight behind dense patch panels, and improves airflow across switches and servers. It is a direct replacement where standard 6.9 mm cables crowd cable managers or restrict cooling.

Verify connector density

Ensure your patch panel ports and keystone jacks accept the snagless boot profile in side-by-side rows. Confirm the 2 ft length reaches between your rack devices without excess slack that could impede airflow. The cable is unshielded UTP, so check that your environment does not require shielded cabling for EMI protection. RoHS compliant with UL E305668 and ETL verification.

Questions about this item

Will the 4.0 mm jacket fit in a standard keystone jack or patch panel port?

Yes — the 4.0 mm outer diameter is thinner than the typical 6.9 mm Cat6a cable, so it seats in any standard RJ45 keystone or patch panel port without force.

How do I seat the RJ45 plugs so the 50-micron gold contacts make full contact?

Push each plug straight in until the transparent snagless boot clicks and the locking tab engages; the slim boot prevents the clip from catching on adjacent cables during insertion.

When should I replace this cable in a 10GBASE-T run?

Replace if the snagless boot cracks, the locking tab breaks, or you measure increased errors on a 10GBASE-T link at 500 MHz — the bare copper conductors and gold contacts do not degrade under normal use.
