Ultra-slim Cat6a patch cable

The Cable Leader 3ft Cat6a Ethernet cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired link in a 4.0 mm orange jacket built to the Cat6a standard. It supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500 MHz and is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e for a drop-in network upgrade. The 28AWG bare copper conductors use four twisted pairs for signal integrity.

High-density rack design

The slim 4.0 mm profile fits more cables per rack unit and keeps bend radii tight behind dense patch panels. Improved airflow across switches and servers reduces heat in busy data center and server room deployments. Transparent slim snagless boots protect the locking clip from snags during routing and re-patching. Gold-plated 50-micron contacts resist corrosion.

Ready for PoE and keystone

The cable works with switches, routers, patch panels, keystone jacks, PoE devices, servers and NAS without extra adapters. RoHS compliance plus UL E305668 and ETL verification confirm the build quality for professional installs. Buyers who need shielded pairs for noisy industrial runs or longer pre-made lengths will need a different cable.

Questions about this item

What speed does the Cat6a 500MHz rating actually deliver?

The Cat6a standard supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500MHz, so this 3ft cable carries 10 Gigabit Ethernet with full margin.

Will the 4.0mm slim jacket fit my high-density patch panel?

At 4.0mm outside diameter versus a typical 6.9mm Cat6a cord, the 28AWG slim profile fits tight rack units and keeps airflow clear around switches.

How do I seat the snagless boot without snapping the clip?

Push the transparent boot straight onto the RJ45 until the locking tab clicks; the slim boot shields the clip so it releases cleanly on the next pull.
