Cables To Go C2G30192 network ethernet cable 10ft Cat6a snagless UTP slim 28AWG purple

10 ft Cat6a slim patch cable

This 10 ft Cat6a unshielded twisted-pair cable uses 28 AWG conductors for a reduced diameter that fits high-density racks and tight cable trays. The slim profile improves airflow around bundled runs compared with standard Cat6a cables. A moulded snagless boot protects the latch during frequent patching and adds strain relief at the connector. The purple jacket supports colour-coded network layouts in datacentres or conference rooms.

Snagless boot and slim conductors

The snagless boot prevents the latch from catching on adjacent cables when panels are opened or bundles are rearranged, reducing accidental disconnects. Thinner 28 AWG wires make the cable more pliable, so it routes cleanly around corners and through narrow trunking without sharp bends. Better airflow around dense bundles helps maintain equipment cooling in enclosed cabinets. These physical attributes suit environments where cables are moved or re-terminated regularly.

10 Gbps up to 328 ft limit

Cat6a specification supports 10 Gbps Ethernet over the full 328 ft channel length, but this cable is only 10 ft long, so it covers short patch links rather than full horizontal runs. Unshielded construction means it is more susceptible to alien crosstalk in extremely dense bundles than shielded alternatives. Installers needing longer permanent links or shielded performance must select different cable types. The 28 AWG gauge also limits mechanical ruggedness compared with thicker stranded or solid conductors.
