High-density patching

This 25ft Cat6a slim cable is built for network engineers and data-centre technicians who need 10 Gigabit connectivity in tight rack spaces. Its 4.0mm jacket and 28AWG conductors allow more cables per rack unit while maintaining the Cat6a standard for 10GBASE-T up to 100 metres at 500MHz. The blue colour aids quick visual identification during moves, adds and changes.

Sustained 10G signal integrity

Under continuous 10GBASE-T loads the four twisted pairs and 50-micron gold-plated contacts keep crosstalk low and resistance stable across the full 100-metre Cat6a channel. Backward compatibility with Cat6 and Cat5e means existing switches, routers, patch panels and PoE devices negotiate the highest common speed without reconfiguration. The UL-listed and ETL-verified construction meets RoHS requirements for long-term deployment.

Slim routing and snagless handling

The 4.0mm outer diameter bends easily behind dense patch panels and routes through crowded cable managers without blocking airflow. A transparent slim snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking clip from catching on adjacent cables during routing and re-patching. Installers should verify that keystone jacks and patch-panel ports accept the reduced boot profile before terminating large bundles.

Questions about this item

Does the 4.0 mm slim jacket generate extra heat when the cable runs at 10 Gbps all day?

The 4.0 mm jacket improves airflow around dense bundles, helping equipment stay cooler during continuous 10 Gbps operation.

What devices must I already own to use this cable?

You need two RJ45 ports — for example a switch, router, patch panel, server, NAS or PoE device — that accept standard 8P8C plugs.

Will this 28 AWG Cat6a cable work with my existing Cat6 patch panel and keystone jacks?

Yes, the Cat6a standard is fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e, so it drops straight into your current RJ45 infrastructure.
