Slim Cat6a patch cable for dense racks

The Cable Leader 12ft Cat6a Ethernet cable is a 10 Gigabit LAN patch cord built to the Cat6a standard. Its 4.0mm outer diameter and 28AWG bare copper conductors make it far thinner than typical 6.9mm Cat6a cords. It targets network engineers and data center operators who need high-density patching in server racks, patch panels and cabinets without changing existing RJ45 equipment.

Sustained 10GBASE-T throughput at 500MHz

The cable supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500MHz, delivering consistent 10 Gigabit bandwidth over the full Cat6a channel length. Four twisted pairs and 50-micron gold-plated contacts maintain low-resistance, corrosion-resistant connections that resist crosstalk during continuous heavy traffic. Backward compatibility with Cat6 and Cat5e ensures a drop-in upgrade without re-certifying the link.

Space-saving build with snagless boot

The ultra-slim jacket allows more cables per rack unit, tight bend radii behind dense panels and improved airflow across switches and servers. A transparent slim snagless boot protects the locking clip from catching during routing and re-patching, keeping bundles tidy. Terminated with 8P8C RJ45 plugs, it fits switches, routers, patch panels, keystone jacks, PoE devices, servers and NAS. RoHS compliant with UL E305668 and ETL verification.

Questions about this item

Does the slim 4.0 mm jacket and 28 AWG construction reduce heat build-up when the cable runs all day in a packed rack?

The 4.0 mm outer diameter is much thinner than standard 6.9 mm Cat6a cords, so more cables fit per rack unit and airflow improves across switches and servers, helping to lower heat in dense deployments.

What devices must I already own to use this cable?

Any equipment with standard RJ45 ports — switches, routers, patch panels, keystone jacks, PoE devices, servers or NAS — will accept the 8P8C plugs directly.

Will this Cat6a cable work with the Cat6 and Cat5e patch panels and switches I already have?

Yes, it is fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e, so it drops into existing RJ45 infrastructure without changing equipment.
