Ultra-slim Cat6a patch cable

The Cable Leader 15ft Cat6a Ethernet cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired link in a yellow 4.0 mm jacket that is far thinner than standard 6.9 mm cords. It uses 28AWG bare copper conductors in four twisted pairs with 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The snagless boot protects the locking clip during routing and re-patching.

500 MHz Cat6a bandwidth

Rated at 500 MHz, the cable supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 metres and remains fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e equipment. This single specification decides whether the link can carry 10 Gigabit traffic over the full channel distance without changing switches or patch panels.

Ideal for dense racks and patch panels

Builders populating high-density server racks, data-centre cabinets or crowded patch panels benefit from the slim profile that improves airflow and bend radius. Installers who need shielded construction, a thicker jacket for harsh environments or longer pre-made lengths should look at something else.

Questions about this item

What does the 10 Gigabit rating mean when this cable is installed in a real network?

It supports 10GBASE-T speeds up to 100 meters at 500MHz, so a 15 ft run will carry full 10 Gbps throughput without bottleneck.

How does the Cat6a standard and RJ45 interface limit performance in practice?

The Cat6a rating caps the cable at 500MHz bandwidth and 10 Gbps over 100 meters; the RJ45 connectors are backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e ports but cannot exceed the 10GBASE-T ceiling.

What physical space does the 4.0 mm jacket and 28 AWG construction need to fit in a rack or panel?

The ultra-slim 4.0 mm diameter (versus typical 6.9 mm) and transparent snagless boot allow tight bend radii and high-density routing in patch panels, server racks and data center cabinets.
