Ultra-slim 10 Gigabit patch cable

This 8 ft Cat6a cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired connection in a 4.0 mm red jacket. It is built for high-density patch panels, server racks and data center cabinets where space and airflow matter. The slim 28 AWG bare copper construction fits more cables per rack unit and keeps bend radii tight behind dense panels.

Thermals and airflow in dense racks

The thinner jacket improves airflow across switches and servers, helping reduce heat buildup in busy data center and server room deployments. Backward compatibility with Cat6 and Cat5e makes it a drop-in upgrade without changing existing equipment. No shielding is used, so the cable stays light and flexible during moves, adds and changes.

Gold contacts and snagless boot

Each end has 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts for low-resistance, corrosion-resistant connections and dependable signal integrity. The transparent slim snagless boot protects the locking clip from snags during routing and re-patching. UL (E305668) and ETL verification plus RoHS compliance confirm the build quality.

Questions about this item

How do I route this 4.0 mm Cat6a cable through a crowded patch panel without snagging the locking clip?

The transparent slim snagless boot covers the RJ45 clip so it slides past adjacent cables; push the connector straight in until the clip clicks, then tug gently to confirm it is seated.

Will the gold-plated contacts on this cable need cleaning or re-termination over time?

The 50-micron gold plating resists corrosion; under normal indoor use the contacts do not require cleaning or re-termination.

At what length does this 28 AWG Cat6a cable hit its 10 Gbps limit under sustained load?

The Cat6a standard rates 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500 MHz, so an 8 ft run stays well within the supported distance.
