Slim 4.0 mm Cat6a Cable

This 15 ft blue Cat6a patch cable uses a 4.0 mm outer diameter and 28 AWG conductors to fit tight spaces in patch panels, server racks and data center cabinets. It terminates in RJ45 connectors on both ends for a standard wired LAN connection. The slim profile allows more cables per rack unit and improves airflow around active equipment.

10 Gigabit at 500 MHz

The cable meets the Cat6a standard and supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 m at 500 MHz for high-speed networking. It remains backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e infrastructure, so it works as a drop-in upgrade without replacing existing hardware. This bandwidth rating is the single figure that determines whether the cable matches your link speed requirement.

Gold Contacts and Snagless Boot

Each RJ45 plug features 50-micron gold-plated contacts for low-resistance, corrosion-resistant connections and reduced crosstalk across the four twisted pairs. A transparent slim snagless boot protects the locking clip during routing and re-patching in dense bundles. The cable carries UL (E305668) and ETL verification and is RoHS compliant.

Questions about this item

What does the 500 MHz rating mean for a 15 ft run in my rack?

At 15 ft the cable easily meets the Cat6a 500 MHz specification, so it will carry 10 Gbps over the full 100 m channel distance without being the limiting factor.

How does the RJ45 connector and Cat6a standard limit real-world speed?

The 8P8C RJ45 plugs and Cat6a rating support 10GBASE-T up to 100 m at 500 MHz; actual throughput is capped by the slowest linked device, not the cable.

Will the 4.0 mm slim jacket and snagless boot fit my high-density patch panel?

Yes — the 4.0 mm OD is far thinner than standard 6.9 mm Cat6a cords, and the transparent slim snagless boot protects the clip while keeping dense bundles tidy.
