Slim Cat6a Patch Cable
This ultra-slim 6 ft Cat6a cable delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet in a 4.0 mm jacket that saves space in dense racks. It uses 28 AWG bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts for reliable signal integrity. The snagless boot protects the locking clip during frequent re-patching. It is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks.
High-Density Rack Deployments
Network engineers fitting maximum cables per rack unit will benefit from the reduced diameter and improved airflow. Buyers who need shielded cable for noisy environments should look elsewhere. Installers requiring standard 6.9 mm jacket thickness for specific conduit fill calculations must choose a different cable.
4.0 mm Jacket Diameter
The 4.0 mm outer diameter is the critical specification that determines fit in high-density patch panels and server cabinets. It enables tight bend radii behind crowded equipment while maintaining 10GBASE-T performance up to 100 m at 500 MHz. Verify your rack clearance and cable management capacity against this dimension before purchase.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the cable is delivering 10 Gbps after I connect it?
Check the link speed in your switch or server OS; it should negotiate 10 Gbps full duplex. The 500 MHz Cat6a rating and 50-micron gold contacts support that rate up to 100 meters.
What comes with the cable and do I need any extra parts?
Only the 6 ft purple Cat6a patch cord with RJ45 plugs on both ends is included. No additional connectors, boots or tools are required for a standard RJ45 port.
When should I choose this 6 ft purple version instead of another length or colour?
Pick the 6 ft purple cable when a short, colour-coded run fits your rack layout; the 4.0 mm slim jacket saves space in dense panels and the 28 AWG conductors keep the bend radius tight.
