Ultra-slim Cat6a patch cable for dense racks

The Cable Leader 8 ft Cat6a Ethernet cable uses a 4.0 mm jacket and 28 AWG bare copper conductors to fit more links per rack unit while supporting 10 GBASE-T at 500 MHz. Its yellow colour aids quick identification in busy patch panels and server cabinets.

Gold-plated contacts and snagless boot improve

Each RJ45 plug carries 50-micron gold-plated contacts for low-resistance, corrosion-resistant connections across four twisted pairs. A transparent slim snagless boot protects the locking clip during routing and re-patching, keeping dense bundles tidy without extra cable-management hardware.

Handles 10 GBASE-T to 100 metres in high-density

The Cat6a rating delivers 10 Gigabit throughput over the full 100 metre channel, and the slim profile maintains airflow around switches and servers where standard 6.9 mm cords would restrict cooling. It is not suited for runs that exceed the 100 metre channel limit or for environments requiring shielded cabling.

Questions about this item

Will the 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts need re-plating or replacement over time?

The 50-micron gold plating resists corrosion under normal use; no re-plating is required and the contacts are not user-replaceable.

Does the 28AWG conductor limit the 10 Gbps speed before the 100 m Cat6a distance?

The cable meets Cat6a 500 MHz performance to 100 m; 28AWG does not reduce the rated 10GBASE-T reach.

How much heat does the slim 4.0 mm jacket add when the cable runs PoE all day?

The thin jacket improves airflow around bundles, helping switches and servers run cooler during continuous PoE operation.
