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

Ultra-Slim 10 Gigabit Cat6a Patch Cable

This 15 ft red Cat6a cable delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet in a 4.0 mm jacket that is far thinner than standard 6.9 mm cords. It is built for high-density patch panels, server racks and data center cabinets where space and airflow are at a premium. The 28 AWG bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide a drop-in upgrade for existing Cat6 and Cat5e networks.

Sustained 10GBASE-T Performance at 500 MHz

The Cat6a rating guarantees 10GBASE-T throughput up to 100 meters at 500 MHz, not just in short bursts. Four twisted pairs and gold-plated contacts maintain low resistance and reduced crosstalk during continuous high-throughput loads. The slim snagless boot protects the locking clip so connections stay secure during repeated re-patching in busy racks.

4.0 mm Diameter for Dense Rack Installations

The decisive specification is the 4.0 mm outer diameter, which allows more cables per rack unit and tighter bend radii behind crowded patch panels. Builders who need the thicker 6.9 mm standard jacket for pull-strength or outdoor ratings should choose a different cable. This slim profile is engineered specifically for indoor high-density copper deployments.
