10ft Cat6a Slim Ethernet Cable

This 10ft Cat6a patch cable provides a 10 Gigabit wired link with a 4.0mm outer diameter. The 28AWG bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure signal integrity at 500MHz. It is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks for a direct upgrade.

High-density racks and patch panels

The slim 4.0mm jacket suits server racks, data center cabinets and dense patch panels where standard 6.9mm cables restrict airflow and routing space. Installations that require shielded cabling or a heavier gauge for longer permanent runs should select a different cable type.

RJ45 port compatibility and length

Verify that both endpoints use standard RJ45 ports and that the 10ft length reaches between your switch, router, patch panel or device without tension. The transparent snagless boot protects the locking clip during frequent re-patching in tight bundles.

Questions about this item

What RJ45 devices do I need at each end to use this 10ft Cat6a cable?

You need any RJ45-equipped switch, router, patch panel, keystone jack, PoE device, server or NAS — the 8P8C plugs fit all standard ports.

Will this 28AWG slim cable work with my existing Cat6 and Cat5e patch panels?

Yes, the Cat6a standard is fully backward compatible so the cable drops straight into Cat6 and Cat5e panels without changes.

How can I confirm the link is running at 10GBASE-T after I plug it in?

Check the switch or NIC status LEDs and the OS network adapter speed readout — they should show 10 Gbps when the 500MHz Cat6a link is active.
