Ultra-slim 10 Gigabit patch cable

The Cable Leader 14ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable provides a 10 Gigabit wired link in a 4.0 mm orange jacket that is far thinner than standard 6.9 mm cords. Its 28 AWG bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts deliver reliable signal integrity up to 500 MHz. The snagless boot protects the locking clip during dense routing.

High-density racks and PoE endpoints

Network engineers running crowded patch panels, server racks or data centre cabinets gain better airflow and easier cable management from the slim profile. Installers needing shielded cabling for noisy industrial environments or outdoor runs should choose a shielded alternative instead.

10GBASE-T up to 100 metres

The cable comfortably handles 10 Gigabit Ethernet at the full 100 metre Cat6a channel distance and remains backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e equipment. Beyond 100 metres or in installations requiring external shielding, this unshielded UTP design reaches its limit.

Questions about this item

What network ports must my switch or server already have to use this 10GBASE-T cable?

The cable terminates in standard 8P8C RJ45 plugs, so the connected equipment needs matching RJ45 ports that support 10GBASE-T, Cat6 or Cat5e speeds.

Will this slim Cat6a cable work in a rack that still uses Cat6 or Cat5e patch panels?

Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e, so it plugs directly into existing RJ45 patch panels, keystone jacks and switches without any hardware changes.

How can I confirm the link is running at 10 Gigabit after I connect the cable?

Check the switch or NIC status LEDs and the operating-system network adapter settings; both should report a 10 Gbps link speed when the cable is operating correctly.
