Ultra-slim Cat6a patch cable for dense racks

This 25ft Cat6a Ethernet cable uses a 4.0mm jacket and 28AWG bare copper conductors to deliver 10 Gigabit speeds at 500MHz. The white UTP design fits high-density patch panels, server racks and data centre cabinets where space and airflow are limited. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts and a snagless boot protect the locking clip during frequent re-patching.

Installers who need maximum cables per rack unit

Suited for network engineers populating patch panels, keystone jacks, PoE devices, switches, routers, servers and NAS units in tight cabinets. The slim profile eases routing and improves cooling. Not for installers who require shielded construction for noisy industrial environments or outdoor burial runs.

4.0mm overall diameter enables high-density routing

The ultra-thin jacket is the single spec that decides fit: it allows significantly more cables per rack unit than standard 6.9mm Cat6a cords while maintaining 10GBASE-T performance to 100 metres. If your cabinet cannot accept standard-diameter patch leads, this cable solves the clearance problem.

Questions about this item

Does the 4.0 mm slim jacket generate any heat or power draw when the cable runs 10 Gigabit traffic all day?

No. The cable is a passive copper link with no active electronics, so it produces no heat and draws no power regardless of how long 10GBASE-T traffic runs at 500 MHz.

What equipment must I already have for this 25 ft Cat6a patch cord to work at 10 Gigabit speeds?

You need devices with RJ45 ports that support 10GBASE-T — such as 10 GbE switches, routers, servers or NAS units — plus Cat6a-rated keystone jacks or patch panels if the run terminates there.

Will this 28 AWG cable work reliably alongside the Cat6 and Cat5e cords already in my rack?

Yes. It is fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e, so it can sit in the same patch panel or switch without any configuration changes and will negotiate the highest speed both ends support.
