Ultra-slim Cat6a cable for dense racks

This 8 ft Cat6a patch cable uses a 4.0 mm jacket and 28 AWG bare copper conductors to deliver 10 Gigabit Ethernet at 500 MHz. The slim profile fits more links per rack unit and improves airflow in server cabinets. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts and a snagless boot protect the clip during frequent re-patching.

Ideal for high-density patching, not for long runs

Network engineers managing crowded patch panels, server racks or data centre cabinets will benefit from the reduced diameter and tight bend radius. Installers needing shielded cables for noisy industrial environments or runs beyond the 100 m Cat6a limit should consider other cable types.

Verify connector spacing and boot clearance

Confirm that your patch-panel ports and keystone jacks accept the slim snagless boot without blocking adjacent ports. Ensure the 8 ft length matches the rack-to-device distance and that your switches and PoE devices support 10GBASE-T over the full 100 m channel.

Questions about this item

What RJ45 devices do I need at each end for this 8ft Cat6a cable to work?

Any standard RJ45 port on a switch, router, patch panel, keystone jack, PoE device, server or NAS will connect directly to the 8P8C plugs on this cable.

Will the 4.0mm slim jacket fit alongside my existing 6.9mm Cat6a cords in the same rack?

Yes, the thinner 4.0mm diameter allows more cables per rack unit and tighter bend radii so it sits neatly beside thicker 6.9mm cables in dense patch panels.

How can I verify the link is running at 10GBASE-T after I plug it in?

Check the port LEDs or switch management interface; a 10GBASE-T link will show 10G speed and the connection should remain stable up to 100 meters at 500MHz.
