Ultra-slim Cat6a patch cable

The Cable Leader 3ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable is a 10 Gigabit LAN patch cord built for high-density network environments. Its 4.0 mm jacket is far thinner than standard 6.9 mm Cat6a cords, saving rack space and improving airflow in server cabinets and patch panels.

10GBASE-T at 500 MHz

This cable meets the Cat6a standard with 28 AWG bare copper conductors in four twisted pairs. It supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500 MHz and is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e for a drop-in upgrade without changing existing equipment.

Snagless boot for dense routing

Transparent slim snagless boots protect the locking clips on the 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts during frequent moves, adds and changes. The slim profile fits tight bundles behind patch panels, keystone jacks, PoE devices, switches, routers, servers and NAS units.

Questions about this item

What real-world speed will I see from the 10 Gigabit rating once the cable is plugged into my switch?

The Cat6a cable supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500MHz, so a 3 ft run will deliver the full 10 Gbps provided your switch ports and NICs also negotiate 10G.

How does the 500MHz Cat6a spec limit the cable in a live network?

At 500MHz the cable meets the Cat6a standard for 10GBASE-T up to 100m; shorter runs like this 3 ft patch cord do not reduce that ceiling, so the 500MHz rating is not a bottleneck.

Will the 4.0mm jacket and 28AWG wires fit my high-density patch panel without blocking adjacent ports?

Yes, the 4.0mm OD is far slimmer than standard 6.9mm Cat6a cords, and the transparent slim snagless boot keeps the locking clip clear so cables sit side-by-side in dense patch panels and server racks.
