High-density 10GBASE-T patch cable

This 1 ft Cat6a cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired connection in an ultra-slim 4.0 mm jacket. The yellow 28AWG bare copper construction is purpose-built for high-density patch panels, server racks and data centre cabinets. It fits tight spaces where standard 6.9 mm cords create congestion and restrict airflow.

Sustained 500 MHz bandwidth performance

The Cat6a standard supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 metres at 500 MHz, maintaining signal integrity over the full rated distance. Four twisted pairs with 50-micron gold-plated contacts reduce crosstalk and ensure low-resistance connections under continuous load. Backward compatibility with Cat6 and Cat5e allows a drop-in upgrade without replacing existing equipment.

Physical limits of slim UTP design

The unshielded 28AWG conductors enable the 4.0 mm diameter but limit mechanical robustness compared to thicker gauges. Transparent snagless boots protect the locking clip during frequent re-patching in dense bundles. RoHS compliance and UL E305668 plus ETL verification confirm safety standards, while the UTP build requires care near strong electromagnetic interference sources.

Questions about this item

Does the 4.0 mm slim jacket reduce heat buildup when cables run continuously in a packed rack?

The thinner 4.0 mm outer diameter improves airflow between bundles in dense patch panels and server racks, helping to lower operating temperatures during all-day use.

What equipment must I already have for this 1 ft Cat6a patch cord to function?

Any device with an RJ45 port — switch, router, patch panel, keystone jack, PoE injector, server or NAS — will accept the cable directly.

Will the 28 AWG conductors work reliably with my older Cat5e patch panel and gigabit switch?

Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e infrastructure, so it drops into existing RJ45 hardware without changes.
