Micro Connectors CAT6A 10Gbps 15 ft 28 AWG Ultra Slim Black

Ultra-slim CAT6A cable for dense installs

The Micro Connectors CAT6A 10Gbps cable is a 15 ft unshielded patch lead built with 28 AWG conductors that are up to 60% thinner than standard cable. Its low-profile diameter suits high-density racks, tight server rooms and any network environment where space and airflow are at a premium. Gold-plated 50-micron contacts and 100% bare copper conductors maintain clear transmission across the run.

Upgrade from bulkier CAT6A or CAT6 patch leads

This cable replaces standard-diameter CAT6A or older CAT6 cords when rack density, cable-management trays or limited clearance make thicker jackets impractical. The jump is worth it whenever reduced clutter, better airflow or a snagless narrow boot are required for reliable high-density patching. Backwards compatibility with CAT6 ensures it works with existing infrastructure while delivering 10-gigabit performance.

Practical limits of the CAT6A UTP standard

As an unshielded CAT6A cable it supports 10-gigabit speeds over the full 15 ft length, but lacks the external shielding that protects against strong electromagnetic interference in industrial settings. The 28 AWG conductors keep the cable ultra slim yet remain compliant with EIA/TIA, UL, ETL and RoHS standards. Buyers needing shielded protection or longer runs beyond the CAT6A specification should consider alternative cable types.
