Cable Leader 6in Cat6a Slim Patch Cable

This 6-inch Cat6a Ethernet cable provides a 10 Gigabit wired link in a compact yellow form factor. It is built for patch panels, server racks and data centre cabinets where space is limited. The ultra-slim 4.0 mm jacket fits high-density environments without blocking airflow. Backward compatibility with Cat6 and Cat5e makes it a drop-in upgrade for existing RJ45 networks.

28AWG bare copper conductors at 500MHz

The single specification that decides fit is the 28AWG conductor gauge combined with a 500MHz Cat6a rating. Thinner 28AWG wires allow the 4.0 mm overall diameter, yet the cable still meets the 10GBASE-T standard up to 100 metres. Installers needing maximum cables per rack unit should verify the 28AWG gauge matches their patch panel termination requirements before ordering.

Gold-plated contacts and snagless boot

Each RJ45 plug carries 50-micron gold-plated contacts for low-resistance, corrosion-resistant connections across four twisted pairs. The transparent slim snagless boot protects the locking clip during routing and re-patching, keeping dense bundles tidy. UL (E305668) and ETL verification plus RoHS compliance confirm the cable meets recognised safety and environmental standards for data centre deployment.

Questions about this item

What does the 10 Gigabit rating actually deliver in a live rack?

It runs 10GBASE-T at up to 100 metres and 500 MHz on Cat6a, so any switch or server port that negotiates 10 Gb/s will hold that speed end-to-end.

How does the Cat6a shielded or unshielded design affect the 500 MHz ceiling?

This cable is unshielded UTP, yet still meets the Cat6a 500 MHz channel spec; the 28 AWG twisted pairs and gold-plated contacts keep crosstalk low enough for the full 10 Gb/s bandwidth.

Will the 4.0 mm jacket and 28 AWG wire fit my 1U patch panel without blocking adjacent ports?

Yes — the 4.0 mm outer diameter is far slimmer than standard 6.9 mm Cat6a, so multiple cables sit side-by-side in dense 1U panels and the snagless boot protects the clip during tight routing.
