Ultra-slim Cat6a cable for dense racks

This 5 ft Cat6a patch cable uses a 4.0 mm jacket and 28 AWG bare copper conductors to deliver 10 GBASE-T performance up to 100 m at 500 MHz. It terminates in RJ45 plugs with 50-micron gold-plated contacts and a transparent snagless boot. The gray cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks.

Verify port spacing and PoE budget

Confirm that your patch panel or switch port density accommodates the reduced 4.0 mm diameter compared to standard 6.9 mm cables. Ensure the 28 AWG conductors meet the power requirements of any PoE devices you plan to connect. The cable is unshielded, so assess nearby EMI sources before routing.

Sustained 10 Gbps throughput in tight bundles

The slim profile maintains signal integrity at 500 MHz when cables are packed tightly in server racks, preserving 10 Gbps speeds over the full 100 m channel. Improved airflow around dense bundles reduces heat buildup during continuous high-bandwidth transfers. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation for long-term reliability.

Questions about this item

Does the 5 ft Cat6a cable come with any accessories or do I need to buy connectors separately?

The cable arrives terminated with RJ45 plugs on both ends and a transparent snagless boot already fitted, so no extra connectors or boots are required.

Should I choose the 28 AWG slim version or a thicker gauge for a 10 Gbps link?

The 28 AWG, 4.0 mm jacket is built to the Cat6a standard and rated for 10GBASE-T at 500 MHz, so it handles 10 Gbps while saving rack space.

What does the 500 MHz rating mean when the cable is installed in a server rack?

It certifies the cable for 10GBASE-T up to 100 m at 500 MHz, so a 5 ft patch cord will run 10 Gbps with full margin in dense patch panels.
