High-density patch cable for 10GBASE-T networks

This 12ft Cat6a slim Ethernet cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired connection in a red 4.0mm jacket. It is built for high-density patch panels, server racks and data center cabinets where space and airflow are constrained. The 28AWG bare copper conductors support 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500MHz.

Fits standard RJ45 ports and frees rack space

The cable terminates in 8P8C RJ45 plugs with 50-micron gold-plated contacts that match any switch, router, patch panel, keystone jack, PoE device, server or NAS. Its 4.0mm diameter is far thinner than standard 6.9mm Cat6a cords, so more cables fit per rack unit and bend radii stay tight behind dense panels. Backward compatibility with Cat6 and Cat5e makes it a drop-in upgrade without changing existing equipment.

Passive design runs cool and silent

With no active components, the cable adds no heat or noise to the installation. The slim jacket improves airflow across switches and servers, helping to reduce temperatures in busy data center and server room deployments. A transparent slim snagless boot protects the locking clip during routing and re-patching, keeping dense bundles tidy. RoHS compliant with UL (E305668) and ETL verification.

Questions about this item

How far can this 12 ft Cat6a cable carry a 10 Gbps signal without loss?

The Cat6a standard supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500 MHz, so the 12 ft length is well within that limit.

Does the slim 4.0 mm jacket affect heat buildup when cables are packed tightly in a rack all day?

The thinner jacket improves airflow between cables in dense patch panels and server racks, helping to reduce heat accumulation during continuous operation.

Will the 28 AWG conductors and RJ45 plugs work with my existing patch panel and PoE devices?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e, uses standard 8P8C RJ45 connectors with 50-micron gold-plated contacts, and supports PoE devices.
