Ultra-slim 10Gb Cat6a cable

The Cable Leader 25ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable provides a 10 Gigabit wired link in a 4.0 mm jacket. It uses 28AWG bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The cable meets the Cat6a standard at 500MHz and is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks. A transparent snagless boot protects the locking clip during routing.

Dense rack installs, not long outdoor runs

Installers fitting high-density patch panels, server racks or data center cabinets benefit from the slim profile that improves airflow and bend radius. Buyers needing shielded cable for noisy industrial environments or UV-rated jackets for outdoor burial should choose a different construction. The unshielded UTP design suits typical indoor copper networks.

Snagless boot eases tight routing

The 4.0 mm diameter and snagless boot let the cable slide through crowded cable managers without catching on adjacent connectors. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion over repeated mating cycles. The only common issue is exceeding the 100 meter channel limit when combining multiple patch cords in a single link.

Questions about this item

What devices must I already have with RJ45 ports to use this 25ft Cat6a cable?

You need any switch, router, patch panel, keystone jack, PoE device, server or NAS that accepts an 8P8C RJ45 plug; the cable is a straight drop-in for those ports.

Will this 28AWG slim cable work with my existing Cat6 and Cat5e patch panels and keystones?

Yes — it is fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e, so the same RJ45 jacks and panels you already use will accept the 4.0 mm jacket without changes.

How can I confirm the link is running at 10 Gigabit after I plug it in?

Check the port LEDs or the OS network status; a 10GBASE-T connection will show 10 Gbps at 500 MHz on equipment that supports the Cat6a standard.
