Ultra-slim 4.0mm Cat6a patch cable

This 8ft Cat6a Ethernet cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired link in a 4.0mm jacket that is far thinner than the typical 6.9mm alternative. The 28AWG bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide low-resistance, corrosion-resistant connections for switches, routers, patch panels, PoE devices, servers and NAS units.

Drop-in upgrade for Cat6 and Cat5e

It supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500MHz and is fully backward compatible with existing Cat6 and Cat5e infrastructure, so no equipment change is required. The transparent slim snagless boot protects the locking clip during routing and re-patching, keeping dense bundles tidy in high-density racks and data center cabinets.

High-density airflow and space savings

The ultra-slim 4.0mm profile lets more cables fit per rack unit, maintains tight bend radii behind patch panels and improves airflow across switches and servers. It comfortably handles 10 Gigabit runs up to 100 meters; beyond that distance or in shielded environments the unshielded UTP construction reaches its limit.

Questions about this item

How much clearance does the 4.0 mm jacket need in a high-density patch panel?

The 4.0 mm outer diameter is far thinner than standard 6.9 mm Cat6a cords, so it fits tight rack units and tight bend radii behind dense panels without blocking airflow.

Which step do installers often miss when seating the RJ45 plugs on this cable?

Push each 8P8C plug until the locking clip clicks past the transparent slim snagless boot; the boot protects the clip but only works if the plug is fully latched.

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

Inspect the gold-plated contacts if you see intermittent 10GBASE-T link drops or corrosion after repeated re-patching; replace the cable if the locking clip or boot is damaged.
