Ultra-Slim 3 ft Cat6a Patch Cable
This 3 ft green Cat6a patch cable delivers a 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection in a 4.0 mm jacket that is far thinner than standard 6.9 mm cords. It uses 28 AWG bare copper conductors in four twisted pairs and terminates in RJ45 plugs with 50-micron gold-plated contacts. The cable is rated to 500 MHz and supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 metres while remaining backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks.
High-Density Rack & Data Centre Installers
Network engineers populating dense patch panels, server racks or data centre cabinets benefit from the reduced diameter that improves airflow and eases cable management. The transparent slim snagless boot protects the locking clip during frequent re-patching. Installers who require shielded construction, solid conductors for permanent in-wall runs or a heavier jacket for floor or outdoor exposure should select a different cable type.
4.0 mm Jacket Diameter
The defining specification is the 4.0 mm outer diameter enabled by 28 AWG stranded conductors. This slim profile allows significantly more cables per rack unit, maintains tight bend radii behind crowded panels and reduces thermal load on active equipment. Buyers must confirm that their patch-panel ports and cable-management accessories accept this reduced diameter before deployment.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the cable is delivering 10 Gbps after installation?
Confirm the link negotiates at 10 Gbps in your switch or server interface statistics and run a throughput test such as iperf3 to validate sustained 10GBASE-T performance.
What comes with the cable and is anything else required?
The package contains only the 3 ft green Cat6a patch cable with RJ45 plugs on both ends; no additional hardware is included and nothing extra is needed for a standard RJ45 connection.
Which version should I choose for a high-density 1U patch panel?
The 3 ft green 28AWG Cat6a cable with its 4.0 mm slim jacket is built for tight rack spaces and maximises port density in 1U panels.
