Cable Leader 15ft Cat6a Slim Ethernet Cable Purple 28AWG 4.0mm 500MHz

Slim Cat6a for dense racks

The Cable Leader 15ft Cat6a Slim Ethernet Cable is a purple 10 Gigabit patch cord built for high-density patch panels, server racks and data center cabinets. Its 4.0mm jacket and 28AWG bare copper conductors let more cables fit per rack unit while keeping bend radii tight behind dense equipment. The cable supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500MHz and is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks. It is not for installers who need shielded cable for noisy industrial environments.

Passive cable thermals

Because the cord is a passive copper assembly, it produces no noise and draws no power of its own. The slim 4.0mm profile improves airflow across switches and servers compared with standard 6.9mm Cat6a cables, helping reduce heat buildup in busy cabinets. Gold-plated contacts keep connection resistance low, so the link stays stable without generating extra warmth. Buyers who want active cooling or powered signal repeaters will not find them here.

Snagless boot and compliance

A transparent slim snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking clip during routing and re-patching, keeping dense bundles tidy and preventing accidental disconnects. The cable carries UL (E305668) and ETL verification and meets RoHS requirements, so it satisfies common data center procurement standards. No software, drivers or configuration utilities are bundled. Customers who expect a cable tester or crimp tool in the package will need to source those separately.
