Cable Leader 1ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable Slim 28AWG Black

Ultra-Slim Cat6a for Dense Racks

The Cable Leader 1ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable is a 10 Gigabit patch cord built for high-density patch panels, server racks and data center cabinets. Its 4.0 mm jacket is far thinner than standard 6.9 mm Cat6a cords, so more cables fit per rack unit and airflow improves across switches and servers. The 28AWG bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts deliver reliable signal integrity at 500MHz. Transparent slim snagless boots protect the locking clip during frequent re-patching.

Ideal for Tight Cabinets, Not Long Runs

This cable suits network engineers and rack builders who need maximum density and easy routing in crowded 1U or 2U spaces. The slim profile keeps bend radii tight and simplifies moves, adds and changes in patch-heavy environments. It is not for installers who need shielded cabling for noisy industrial areas or runs beyond the 100 meter Cat6a channel limit. Buyers who want a thicker, more rugged jacket for floor or wall pulls should look elsewhere.

4.0 mm Jacket Decides Fit

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the 4.0 mm outer diameter. Measure the available space in your patch panel cable managers and the clearance behind your keystone jacks; if a standard 6.9 mm cord crowds the bundle or blocks airflow, this slim design solves the problem. If the pathway has ample room, a conventional Cat6a cord will work equally well.
