Ultra-Slim Cat6a for Dense Racks

This four-foot Cat6a patch cable uses a 4.0 mm jacket and 28 AWG bare-copper conductors to deliver 10 Gigabit Ethernet in high-density server racks and patch panels. The slim profile fits more cables per rack unit and keeps bend radii tight behind crowded equipment. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts and a snagless boot ensure reliable connections during frequent moves and re-patches.

10GBASE-T Headroom and Limits

Rated for 10GBASE-T at 500 MHz, the cable supports full 10 Gigabit speeds up to 100 meters and drops straight into existing Cat6 or Cat5e links without hardware changes. The unshielded 28 AWG construction meets the Cat6a standard for short runs, but longer horizontal cables or noisy environments may require the thicker 6.9 mm shielded alternative.

Thermals, Noise and Power Draw

Passive copper construction adds no fan noise, no active heat and no power draw to the rack. By reducing cable bulk the slim jacket improves airflow across switches and servers, helping lower ambient temperatures in busy data-centre aisles. RoHS compliant and UL E305668 listed for safe operation in standard cabinet environments.

Questions about this item

Will the 4.0 mm slim Cat6a cable plug into my existing Cat6 patch panel and keystone jacks without any adapters?

Yes, the RJ45 connectors are fully backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e ports, so it drops straight into your current patch panel, keystone jacks and switches.

How can I confirm the 4 ft cable is delivering 10 Gbps after I connect it?

Check the link speed in your switch or router management interface — it should show 10 Gbps full duplex — and run a throughput test such as iperf3 to verify sustained 10 Gbps performance.

Does the 4 ft yellow cable come with any extra hardware or do I need to buy boots or clips separately?

The cable includes transparent slim snagless boots already fitted on both RJ45 ends; no additional boots, clips or accessories are required.
