High-density Cat6a patch cable

This 7 ft Cat6a Ethernet cable uses a 4.0 mm outer diameter and 28 AWG bare copper conductors to deliver 10 Gigabit speeds at 500 MHz. The slim profile fits tight spaces in patch panels, server racks and data center cabinets while remaining backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e equipment.

Installers running dense rack bundles

Network technicians who need more cables per rack unit and better airflow around switches will benefit from the reduced jacket size and snagless boot. Buyers who require shielded construction or a heavier gauge for long horizontal runs should look at alternatives not covered here.

4.0 mm jacket for crowded racks

The ultra-slim 4.0 mm diameter is the decisive spec that lets this cable sit side-by-side in high-density panels without blocking airflow or exceeding bend-radius limits. Gold-plated contacts and UL/ETL verification support reliable 10GBASE-T performance up to 100 m.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the cable is delivering 10 Gigabit performance after I plug it in?

Check the link speed reported by your switch or network adapter; it should read 10 Gbps (10GBASE-T) when both ends support that rate.

What comes with the cable and is anything else required to use it?

The package contains the 7 ft Cat6a patch cable with RJ45 plugs on both ends; no extra parts are needed for a standard RJ45 connection.

Which version should I choose for a high-density server rack?

The 28 AWG slim 4.0 mm jacket is designed for tight patch panels and better airflow in dense rack installations.
