Cables To Go C2G30164 10ft Cat6a UTP Slim network ethernet cable

10 ft Cat6a Slim UTP Cable

This 10 ft Cat6a Unshielded Twisted Pair cable uses 28 AWG conductors for a reduced diameter that improves airflow in dense installations. The snagless boot protects the latch during routing and adds strain relief. It supports Ethernet speeds up to 10 Gbps at distances up to 328 ft, making it suitable for high-density environments such as conference rooms and datacenters. The slim profile simplifies cable management in tight spaces.

Check Port Spacing and PoE Needs

Verify that your switch or patch panel ports have enough clearance for the slim boot profile in high-density rows. Confirm that connected devices negotiate 10 Gbps links rather than falling back to lower rates on older hardware. Ensure the Power over Ethernet budget of your injector or switch covers the endpoints you plan to run over this cable. The cable is unshielded, so assess nearby electromagnetic interference before routing near power lines.

Sustained 10 Gbps and PoE Operation

The Cat6a specification doubles the minimum bandwidth of Cat6, providing headroom for continuous 10 Gbps throughput over the full 328 ft distance. The 28 AWG conductors handle PoE and PoE+ currents without excessive temperature rise during extended duty cycles. Reduced cable diameter lowers bundle fill, helping maintain airflow around active equipment during long-term operation. Lifetime warranty coverage reflects the manufacturer's confidence in durability under sustained load.
