Cable Leader 7ft Cat6a Slim Ethernet Cable

This 7 ft Cat6a patch cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired link in a 4.0 mm yellow jacket that is far thinner than standard 6.9 mm cords. It uses 28 AWG bare copper conductors in four twisted pairs with 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts for reliable signal integrity. The transparent slim snagless boot protects the locking clip during routing and re-patching. It is RoHS compliant and carries UL (E305668) and ETL verification.

Check connector density

Verify that your patch panel, keystone jack or server rack accepts the 4.0 mm outer diameter so the slim boot seats cleanly alongside existing cables. Confirm the switch or router port count and power-over-Ethernet class match the devices you plan to connect, because the 28 AWG conductors carry less current than thicker gauges. Ensure the 7 ft length reaches between your rack units without excess slack that could block airflow.

Replaces standard Cat6a cords in high-density racks

The 4.0 mm jacket lets you fit more cables per rack unit and keeps bend radii tight behind dense patch panels, improving airflow across switches and servers. The jump is worth it when cable congestion limits moves, adds and changes or when heat buildup threatens equipment reliability. Backward compatibility with Cat6 and Cat5e makes it a drop-in upgrade for any RJ45 network without replacing existing hardware. Buyers who need longer runs beyond 100 m or heavier-gauge conductors for high-power PoE should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Does the 7 ft Cat6a slim cable arrive ready to plug in, or do I need separate RJ45 connectors or a crimping tool?

The cable is pre-terminated with RJ45 plugs on both ends, so it works straight from the pack — no extra connectors or tools required.

When should I choose the 7 ft yellow 28 AWG version instead of a longer or standard-thickness Cat6a cable?

Pick this 7 ft slim cable for short, high-density runs in patch panels or server racks where the 4.0 mm jacket saves space and improves airflow; use a longer or thicker cable for extended distances or rugged environments.

What does the 500 MHz rating mean for real-world throughput on my 10 GbE switch?

The 500 MHz bandwidth supports the full 10 GBASE-T spec up to 100 m, so the 7 ft link will deliver line-rate 10 Gbps with headroom for crosstalk margin in dense bundles.
