Ultra-Slim 6-Inch Cat6a Patch Cable

This 6-inch Cat6a Ethernet cable delivers a 10 Gigabit wired link in a 4.0 mm gray jacket. 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 routing in tight spaces.

Ideal for High-Density Racks — Not for Long Runs

Network engineers populating dense patch panels, server racks or data center cabinets gain extra space and better airflow from the slim profile. Installers needing horizontal runs beyond the short patch length or cables rated for in-wall installation should choose a different cable type.

4.0 mm Jacket Diameter Decides Fit

The 4.0 mm outer diameter is the single specification that determines whether this cable fits your rack density and airflow requirements. Standard Cat6a cords measure 6.9 mm, so verify your panel spacing and cable management before ordering.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 6in length or a longer patch cable for my server rack?

Choose the 6in cable when the switch port and patch panel jack sit side-by-side in the same rack unit; it eliminates slack that blocks airflow. For cross-rack or cross-row runs, select a longer Cat6a cord so the cable reaches without tension.

What does the 500MHz rating mean once the cable is installed in my 10GBASE-T link?

The 500MHz bandwidth meets the Cat6a requirement for 10GBASE-T across the full 100m channel, so this 6in segment will not limit throughput when the rest of the permanent link also complies with the standard.

How does the 28AWG gauge and 4.0mm jacket affect what I can plug into a high-density patch panel?

The thinner 28AWG conductors and 4.0mm outer diameter let you fit more cables per rack unit, keep bend radii tight behind dense panels, and maintain better airflow around switches and servers.
