Ultra-slim Cat6a patch cable for dense racks

This five-foot white cable meets the Cat6a standard and carries 10GBASE-T traffic at 500 MHz up to 100 metres. Its 28 AWG bare-copper conductors and 4.0 mm jacket are far thinner than typical 6.9 mm cords, so more links fit in each rack unit and airflow improves around switches and servers.

Snagless boot and gold contacts simplify

A transparent slim boot protects the locking clip from catching on neighbouring cables during routing or re-patching. The 8P8C RJ45 plugs use 50-micron gold-plated contacts for low-resistance, corrosion-resistant connections, and the four twisted pairs keep crosstalk low in tight bundles.

Not for runs that require shielded

Buyers who need foil or braid shielding for noisy environments, or solid-conductor cable for permanent in-wall pulls, should choose a different construction. This unshielded, stranded 28 AWG patch cord is built for patch-panel, server-rack and data-centre patching where flexibility and density matter most.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 10GBASE-T link is running at 500 MHz after plugging in the 5 ft slim Cat6a cable?

Check the switch or NIC status LEDs for a 10 Gbps indication, then run a throughput test such as iperf3; sustained speeds near 10 Gbit/s show the 500 MHz Cat6a channel is performing correctly.

What comes in the box with the white 4.0 mm OD Cat6a patch cord and what must I buy separately?

The box contains only the 5 ft 28 AWG bare copper UTP cable with 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 plugs and transparent slim snagless boots; no additional hardware or tools are included.

When should I choose the 5 ft white slim Cat6a over a longer or standard 6.9 mm jacket version?

Pick the 5 ft slim cable for short, high-density runs in patch panels, server racks or data center cabinets where the 4.0 mm jacket saves space, eases routing and improves airflow.
