Ultra-slim Cat6a patch cable

The Cable Leader 5ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable is an ultra-slim 4.0mm LAN patch cord built for high-density patch panels, server racks and data centre cabinets. It uses 28AWG bare copper conductors in four twisted pairs with 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The transparent snagless boot protects the locking clip during routing and re-patching.

Thermals and power in dense deployments

The 4.0mm jacket is far thinner than standard 6.9mm Cat6a cords, allowing more cables per rack unit and tighter bend radii behind dense patch panels. Improved airflow across switches and servers reduces heat build-up in busy data centre and server room deployments. As a passive copper cable it draws no power and adds no noise to the installation.

Bundled boot and compliance benefits

The slim snagless boot keeps dense bundles tidy and prevents clip damage during frequent moves, adds and changes. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for long-term signal integrity. The cable is RoHS compliant and carries UL (E305668) and ETL verification for safety assurance.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 5ft Cat6a slim cable in a high-density patch panel without snagging the locking clip?

Route the 4.0mm jacket through the panel and push the transparent slim snagless boot until the RJ45 clicks; the boot shields the clip so it cannot catch on adjacent cables during moves or re-patching.

What maintenance will the gold-plated RJ45 contacts need over time?

The 50-micron gold plating resists corrosion, so no routine cleaning is required; simply reseat the plug if a link drops and inspect the boot for cracks after repeated re-patching.

At what length does the 28AWG construction hit its signal limit for 10GBASE-T?

The Cat6a standard rates 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500MHz; this 5ft assembly is well within that distance, so the first limit you meet will be the 100m channel ceiling, not the cable itself.
