Ultra-slim Cat6a patch cable

The Cable Leader 15ft Cat6a Ethernet cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired link in a green 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 centre cabinets where space and airflow are at a premium. The 28AWG bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide low-resistance, corrosion-resistant connections.

10GBASE-T at 500 MHz

This cable meets the Cat6a standard and supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 metres at 500 MHz, making it a drop-in upgrade for any RJ45 network running at 10 Gigabit speeds. It remains fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e equipment, so existing switches, routers and patch panels require no replacement. The specification is the single factor that determines whether the cable matches the required network performance.

Snagless boot eases dense routing

A transparent slim snagless boot shields the locking clip from catching during routing and re-patching, keeping dense bundles tidy in tight rack units. The 4.0 mm diameter allows tight bend radii behind crowded patch panels and improves airflow across switches and servers. Installers should verify that 28AWG conductors meet any project specifications that call for thicker gauge wire, as the slim profile trades copper cross-section for density.

Questions about this item

What does 10 Gigabit mean when the cable is plugged into a real switch?

It supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500 MHz on the Cat6a standard, and is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e for a drop-in upgrade.

What does the Cat6a rating cap in practice?

The Cat6a standard caps performance at 500 MHz and 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters, so this cable will not exceed those limits.

Will the 4.0 mm jacket fit in a standard patch panel port?

Yes, the ultra-slim 4.0 mm OD is thinner than standard 6.9 mm Cat6a cords and is designed for high-density patch panels, server racks and data center cabinets.
