Ultra-slim Cat6a patch cable for dense racks

This 6 ft gray Cat6a cable uses a 4.0 mm jacket and 28 AWG bare copper conductors to deliver 10 GBASE-T performance up to 100 m at 500 MHz. It fits high-density patch panels, server racks and data center cabinets where standard 6.9 mm cords crowd airflow. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts and a snagless boot ensure reliable connections during frequent re-patching.

Verify RJ45 port spacing and bend-radius needs

Confirm that your patch panel or switch port density accommodates the 4.0 mm diameter and that the 28 AWG conductors meet your installation bend-radius requirements. The cable is unshielded UTP, so check that the environment does not demand shielded cabling for EMI protection. Ensure existing infrastructure runs Cat6a, Cat6 or Cat5e for backward-compatible operation.

Frees rack space and improves airflow in cabinets

The slim profile lets you pack more cables per rack unit, reducing congestion behind patch panels and improving cooling across switches and servers. It connects switches, routers, keystone jacks, PoE devices, servers and NAS units without requiring wider cable managers. RoHS compliant with UL E305668 and ETL verification, it supports moves, adds and changes in live data center deployments.

Questions about this item

Does the package contain only the 6 ft slim Cat6a cable, or do I need to buy RJ45 connectors separately?

The cable arrives with 8P8C RJ45 plugs already terminated on both ends, so no separate connectors are required.

Should I choose this 28 AWG slim version or a thicker Cat6a cable for my rack?

Pick the 28 AWG slim cable when rack density and airflow are priorities; its 4.0 mm jacket fits more cords per rack unit and bends easily behind patch panels.

What does the 500 MHz rating actually deliver when the cable is plugged into my 10GBASE-T switch?

It guarantees 10 Gigabit speeds up to 100 meters on Cat6a infrastructure while remaining fully compatible with existing Cat6 and Cat5e gear.
