Cable Leader 10ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable Slim 4.0mm 28AWG Gray

Slim Cat6a patch cable for dense racks

The Cable Leader 10ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable is a 10 gigabit LAN patch cord built for high-density patch panels, server racks and data center cabinets. Its ultra-slim 4.0 mm jacket is far thinner than standard 6.9 mm Cat6a cords, so more cables fit per rack unit and airflow improves across switches and servers. The gray 28AWG bare copper construction uses four twisted pairs with 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts for low-resistance connections. A transparent slim snagless boot protects the locking clip during routing and re-patching.

Sustained 10GBASE-T performance at 500MHz

The cable meets the Cat6a standard and supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500MHz, delivering consistent throughput for long runs in busy server rooms. Backward compatibility with Cat6 and Cat5e makes it a drop-in upgrade without changing existing equipment. The 28AWG bare copper conductors and tight twist ratios maintain signal integrity and reduce crosstalk under continuous load. UL (E305668) and ETL verification plus RoHS compliance confirm the build quality for sustained professional use.

4.0 mm outer diameter decides fit

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the 4.0 mm jacket diameter. If your patch panel, server rack or data center cabinet needs the maximum number of cables per rack unit and the tightest bend radii behind dense hardware, this slim profile is the deciding factor. Installers who can use standard 6.9 mm Cat6a cords gain no density advantage here. Buyers who need a shielded cable for noisy industrial environments should look elsewhere because this cable is unshielded UTP.
