High-density 10GBASE-T patch cable

This 50 ft Cat6a cable delivers a 10 Gb/s wired link in an ultra-slim 4.0 mm jacket. The 28 AWG bare copper conductors and 500 MHz rating meet the 10GBASE-T standard up to 100 m. Red colour coding simplifies identification in crowded racks.

Capacity and headroom for dense racks

The slim profile fits more cables per rack unit than standard 6.9 mm cords and maintains tight bend radii behind patch panels. Backward compatibility with Cat6 and Cat5e allows a drop-in upgrade without replacing switches or panels. At 50 ft the run stays well within the 100 m channel limit for 10 Gb/s operation.

Gold contacts and snagless boot

50-micron gold-plated RJ45 pins provide low-resistance, corrosion-resistant connections across four twisted pairs. The transparent slim snagless boot protects the locking clip during frequent re-patching. RoHS compliant construction carries UL (E305668) and ETL verification for safety assurance.

Questions about this item

Will the 28AWG Cat6a cable run at 10GBASE-T alongside my existing Cat6 patch cords?

Yes, the cable supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500MHz and is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e, so it works in the same RJ45 ports without equipment changes.

How can I verify the 50ft red cable is delivering 10 Gigabit performance after installation?

Check the link speed on your switch or router management interface — it should report a 10 Gbps connection — and run a throughput test between two 10GBASE-T devices to confirm sustained rates.

Does the 50ft red Cat6a cable come with any additional connectors or mounting hardware?

The cable is supplied as a single 50ft patch cord with RJ45 plugs on both ends and transparent slim snagless boots; no extra connectors, keystone jacks or mounting hardware are included.
