50ft Cat6a Slim Patch Cable
This 50ft Cat6a slim Ethernet cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired link in a 4.0 mm orange jacket. It uses 28AWG bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts for reliable signal integrity. The snagless boot protects the locking clip during routing. It is built for high-density patch panels and server racks.
Check port spacing and PoE budget
Verify that your switch or patch-panel ports accept the 4.0 mm diameter without blocking adjacent jacks. Confirm the connected equipment supports 10GBASE-T at 500MHz to use the full Cat6a rating. Ensure the PoE class of your devices matches the 28AWG conductor capacity for the intended run length.
Ultra-slim build 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. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion through repeated re-patching. The transparent snagless boot keeps dense bundles tidy during moves, adds and changes. RoHS compliant with UL E305668 and ETL verification.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box and do I need to buy RJ45 connectors separately?
The cable ships with RJ45 plugs already crimped on both ends, so no separate connectors are required.
Should I choose this 50ft 28AWG orange cable or a thicker gauge for my server rack?
The 28AWG 4.0mm slim jacket fits high-density racks and improves airflow; choose a thicker gauge only if you need longer runs beyond 50ft.
What does the 500MHz 10GBASE-T rating mean when the cable is installed in a real switch?
It guarantees 10 Gigabit speeds up to 100 meters at 500MHz, fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e equipment.
