Color Red

  • 10 Gb/s wired speed over 100 m at 500 MHz
  • Ultra-slim 4.0 mm jacket fits dense patch panels and racks
  • 28 AWG bare copper with 50 µm gold RJ45 contacts cuts crosstalk
  • Transparent snagless boot protects locking clip during re-patching
  • Backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e for drop-in upgrades

Cable profile for dense racks

The 4.0 mm jacket is far thinner than standard 6.9 mm Cat6a cords, so more cables fit per rack unit and airflow improves across switches and servers. Builders who need a bulkier jacket for heavy pull-through or outdoor conduit should choose a different cable.

Sustained 10 Gigabit link

Cat6a rating and 500 MHz bandwidth support 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters, and the 28 AWG bare copper pairs keep crosstalk low during continuous throughput. Installers who require shielded pairs for noisy industrial environments will not find that protection here.

Gold-plated contact reliability

Each RJ45 plug carries 50-micron gold-plated contacts for low-resistance, corrosion-resistant connections through repeated re-patching. Buyers who need a different contact plating or a non-standard pin-out must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Does the slim 4.0mm jacket help airflow and reduce heat in a packed server rack?

Yes, the 4.0mm outer diameter is far thinner than standard 6.9mm Cat6a cords, so more cables fit per rack unit, bend radii stay tight behind dense panels, and airflow improves across switches and servers, lowering heat in busy deployments.

What devices or ports must I already have to use this cable?

Any standard RJ45 port — switches, routers, patch panels, keystone jacks, PoE devices, servers or NAS — will accept the 8P8C plugs with 50-micron gold-plated contacts; no special adapters or proprietary hardware are required.

Will this Cat6a cable work with my existing Cat6 and Cat5e patch panels and keystones?

Fully backward compatible — the cable meets the Cat6a standard at 500MHz and 10GBASE-T up to 100m, yet drops straight into Cat6 and Cat5e RJ45 infrastructure without changing panels, jacks or switches.
