Ultra-slim 4.0 mm Cat6a patch cable

The Cable Leader Cat6a Slim Ethernet Cable is a 5 ft red patch cord built to the Cat6a standard with 28 AWG bare copper conductors and RJ45 connectors on both ends. Its 4.0 mm outer diameter is considerably thinner than typical 6.9 mm Cat6a cables, making it suited for high-density patch panels, server racks and data centre cabinets where space and airflow are constrained.

Suited for dense rack installs.

Installers running large bundles through tight cable managers or retrofit jobs in crowded cabinets will benefit from the reduced bend radius and improved airflow. Buyers who need shielded construction for noisy electrical environments, outdoor-rated jackets, or longer run lengths beyond the supplied 5 ft should look at other cable types.

28 AWG conductors enable the slim profile

The 28 AWG bare copper wire gauge is the specification that makes the 4.0 mm jacket possible, allowing more cables per rack unit and tighter routing behind dense patch panels. This gauge also determines the cable's flexibility and current-carrying capacity for PoE devices, so verify it meets your project's power and distance requirements.

Questions about this item

Which length should I pick for a short run inside a server rack?

The 5 ft length is the only one listed, so it is the default choice for a short patch inside a rack.

What does the 10 Gigabit rating actually deliver when the cable is plugged into my switch?

It supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters at 500 MHz, giving full 10 Gigabit throughput on any Cat6a-compatible port.

What does the Cat6a standard cap in real use?

Cat6a caps the channel at 500 MHz and 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters, and this cable meets that limit with 28 AWG bare copper and gold-plated contacts.
