Cable Leader 15ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable Slim 4.0mm 28AWG Black

Slim Cat6a patch cable for dense racks

The Cable Leader 15ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable is an ultra-slim 4.0mm patch cord built for high-density server racks, patch panels and data center cabinets. It uses 28AWG bare copper conductors in four twisted pairs and terminates in RJ45 plugs with 50-micron gold-plated contacts. The transparent snagless boot protects the locking clip during frequent re-patching. It supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500MHz and is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks.

Ideal for crowded cabinets, not for rugged runs

This cable suits network engineers and integrators who need maximum port density and improved airflow in 1U or 2U patch panels where standard 6.9mm cords crowd the space. The slim jacket eases routing through tight cable managers and keeps bend radii manageable behind dense equipment. Buyers who need shielded construction for noisy industrial environments, outdoor-rated jackets, or heavier gauge conductors for repeated flexing should look at other cable types.

4.0mm jacket diameter enables high-density installs

The defining specification is the 4.0mm outer diameter, which is far thinner than typical Cat6a cables and allows more cables per rack unit while maintaining 10 Gigabit performance to 100 meters. This single dimension determines whether the cord fits your patch panel density and airflow requirements.
