Ultra-Slim 10 Gigabit Patch Cable

The Cable Leader 2ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable provides a 10 Gigabit wired link in a 4.0 mm purple jacket. It uses 28AWG bare copper conductors with 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The slim snagless boot protects the locking clip during dense routing. It is rated for 500MHz and backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks.

Ideal for Dense Racks, Not Long Runs

Suits administrators populating high-density patch panels, server racks or data center cabinets where airflow and space are tight. The 2 ft length fits short intra-rack links and patch panel to switch connections. Buyers needing longer horizontal runs to workstations or building backbone segments should select a standard-diameter cable rated for the full 100 meter channel.

Verify Port Density and Jacket Clearance

Confirm the 4.0 mm outer diameter clears adjacent ports on your patch panel or switch without blocking neighbouring connections. Ensure the snagless boot profile fits the latch spacing on your keystone jacks or panel couplers. Check that 28AWG solid or stranded conductors meet your termination standard for punch-down or crimp tools if you plan to re-terminate.

Questions about this item

Does this cable need any special port or adapter beyond a standard RJ45 jack to deliver 10 Gigabit speeds?

No — it plugs straight into any 8P8C RJ45 port on switches, routers, patch panels, keystone jacks, PoE devices, servers or NAS gear and runs 10GBASE-T at 500 MHz over 100 m.

Will the 28 AWG conductors and 4.0 mm jacket work reliably alongside existing Cat6 and Cat5e patch cords in the same rack?

Yes — the cable is fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e, so it can sit in the same high-density bundles without signal issues while its slimmer profile improves airflow.

How can I verify the link is actually running at 10 Gigabit after I patch it in?

Check the port LEDs or switch dashboard for a 10 Gbps link light, then run a throughput test between two 10G-capable endpoints to confirm sustained 10GBASE-T performance.
