Cable Leader 12ft Cat6a Slim Ethernet Cable

This 12-foot Cat6a patch cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired connection using an ultra-slim 4.0 mm jacket and 28AWG bare copper conductors. It is built for high-density patch panels, server racks and data center cabinets where space and airflow are tight. The cable is fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks.

Suited for dense rack and patch panel installs

Installers who need more cables per rack unit and tighter bend radii behind dense patch panels will benefit from the slim profile. Buyers who require shielded cabling for noisy industrial environments or outdoor runs should look at a different cable type.

Deciding spec: 28AWG ultra-slim 4.0 mm jacket

The 28AWG construction and 4.0 mm outside diameter determine whether this cable fits your rack density and airflow requirements. If your installation demands a thicker, shielded or plenum-rated jacket, this is not the right part.

Questions about this item

What devices do I already need with RJ45 ports to use this 12ft Cat6a cable?

You need any switch, router, patch panel, keystone jack, PoE device, server or NAS that has standard RJ45 ports; the cable plugs directly into those 8P8C connectors.

Will this 28AWG Cat6a cable work alongside my existing Cat6 and Cat5e patch cords in the same rack?

Yes, it is fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e, so you can mix it with older cords without changing switches or patch panels.

How can I verify the cable is delivering 10GBASE-T performance after I install it?

Check the link speed on your switch or server management interface — it should negotiate 10 Gbps, and a cable certifier can confirm 500 MHz bandwidth over the 100 m channel.
