Ultra-slim Cat6a patch cable for dense racks

This 2 ft red Cat6a cable uses a 4.0 mm jacket and 28 AWG conductors to fit tight patch panels and server racks where standard 6.9 mm cords crowd airflow. It terminates in RJ45 plugs with 50-micron gold-plated contacts and a transparent snagless boot that protects the locking clip during frequent re-patching.

Passive copper construction runs cool and silent

The bare copper twisted pairs carry 10 Gigabit Ethernet without active components, so the cable adds no heat or noise to the rack. Its slim profile improves airflow around switches and servers, helping keep equipment temperatures lower in high-density installations.

10GBASE-T up to 100 metres at 500 MHz

Rated for the full Cat6a channel distance, this cable supports 10 Gigabit speeds over 100 metres at 500 MHz and remains backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e links. Buyers who need shielded cables for noisy industrial environments should choose a different construction.

Questions about this item

How do I plug this slim Cat6a cable into a dense patch panel without snagging the locking clip?

The transparent slim snagless boot covers the RJ45 clip so it slides past adjacent cables in a 4.0 mm jacket and releases with a gentle squeeze.

Will the 28AWG conductors or gold-plated contacts need replacement after repeated re-patching?

The 50-micron gold plating on the 8P8C RJ45 plugs resists corrosion and maintains low resistance through many insertions; the bare copper pairs are rated for the cable's service life.

At what length does this 500MHz Cat6a cable hit its 10GBASE-T limit in a hot server rack?

The Cat6a standard guarantees 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500MHz; the 2 ft length stays well within that margin even with tight bends behind dense panels.
