Ultra-slim Cat6a patch cable for dense racks

The Cable Leader 30ft Cat6a Ethernet cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired link in a 4.0mm jacket that is far thinner than standard 6.9mm cords. It uses 28AWG bare copper conductors in four twisted pairs with 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The transparent snagless boot protects the locking clip during routing and re-patching.

Fits high-density panels and improves airflow

The slim profile lets more cables fit per rack unit and keeps bend radii tight behind crowded patch panels. This frees airflow across switches and servers, reducing heat in busy data center and server room deployments. Connectors are standard 8P8C RJ45 so the cable plugs directly into switches, routers, patch panels, keystone jacks, PoE devices, servers and NAS units.

Drop-in upgrade from Cat6 or Cat5e

The cable meets the Cat6a standard at 500MHz and supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters while remaining fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e. It replaces thicker legacy cords without changing existing equipment, making the jump worthwhile when rack density, airflow or move-add-change speed are constraints. Not suited for buyers who need shielded cable or outdoor-rated jackets.

Questions about this item

How far can this 28AWG Cat6a cable run at 10GBASE-T speeds?

The Cat6a standard supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500MHz, and this 30ft cable is well within that distance limit.

Does the slim 4.0mm jacket affect heat buildup in a packed server rack?

The 4.0mm outer diameter improves airflow compared to standard 6.9mm cables, helping reduce heat in dense patch panels and server cabinets.

What devices need RJ45 ports to use this patch cable?

It works with any switch, router, patch panel, keystone jack, PoE device, server or NAS that has a standard RJ45 jack.
