5 ft Cat6a slim patch cable

This 5-foot Cat6a Ethernet cable uses a 4.0 mm jacket and 28 AWG bare copper conductors to deliver 10 Gigabit speeds at 500 MHz. It terminates in RJ45 plugs with 50-micron gold contacts and a transparent snagless boot. The yellow colour aids quick identification in dense racks.

Drop-in upgrade from thicker Cat6a cords

It replaces standard 6.9 mm Cat6a patch leads when rack density or airflow becomes the limiting factor. The jump is worth it when cable bundles block cooling paths or when moves, adds and changes demand tighter bend radii behind full patch panels. Backward compatibility with Cat6 and Cat5e means no hardware swap is required.

Simple press-fit install with snagless boots

Push each RJ45 connector until the clip clicks; the slim boot shields the latch during routing through crowded cable managers. What usually goes wrong is exceeding the 100 metre 10GBASE-T channel limit or mixing shielded and unshielded segments, which the unshielded UTP construction does not support.

Questions about this item

How much clearance does the 4.0 mm jacket need behind a patch panel?

The 4.0 mm outer diameter lets the cable bend tightly behind dense patch panels without kinking, so standard rack-unit depth is sufficient.

Which way round do the transparent slim snagless boots go when plugging into a keystone jack?

Press the RJ45 plug straight in until the locking tab clicks; the snagless boot slides over the clip automatically and prevents it catching on adjacent cables.

When should the 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts be inspected or the cable replaced?

Inspect the contacts if you see intermittent link drops or corrosion after many re-patches; otherwise the gold plating resists oxidation for the life of the installation.
