Micro Connectors CAT6A 10Gbps 28 AWG Ultra Slim 5 ft Blue 5-Pack

SKU CH-Q1B9-MC96W

Five ultra-slim CAT6A cables deliver 10 Gbps speeds in tight spaces with gold-plated contacts and snagless boots

  • Overall length5 ft (1.52 m)
  • Product colorBlue
  • 60% thinner than standard CAT6A cable saves rack space
  • 28 AWG ultra-slim profile improves airflow in dense installs
  • Gold-plated 50-micron contacts eliminate signal loss
  • 10 Gbps CAT6A performance with full backwards compatibility
  • 5-pack of 5 ft blue cables simplifies colour-coded deployments

Ultra-slim 28 AWG CAT6A cables

This five-pack supplies 5 ft blue patch cables built to the CAT6A 10-Gigabit standard. Each cable uses 28 AWG conductors made from 100% bare copper with gold-plated 50-micron contacts. The ultra-slim design is up to 60% thinner than standard CAT6A cable for tight network environments.

Replaces bulky CAT6A runs

These cables upgrade standard-diameter CAT6A links where rack density or airflow is constrained. The low-profile boot and tangle-free latch suit high-density patch panels and cable managers. Backwards compatibility with CAT6 lets you phase them in without a full re-cable.

Limited by 5 ft reach and UTP construction

The fixed 5 ft length restricts use to adjacent rack units or desktop-to-switch links. Unshielded twisted-pair construction offers no protection against strong EMI in industrial settings. Installers needing longer runs, shielded cable or outdoor rating must choose a different product.

Questions about this item

Will the 28 AWG ultra-slim cable fit tightly spaced ports on a high-density patch panel?

The ultra-slim design is up to 60% thinner than standard CAT6A cable, and the narrow boot is made for high-density applications, so it fits tightly spaced ports without blocking adjacent connections.

What is the correct way to seat the snagless boot so the latch does not catch on neighbouring cables?

Push the connector straight in until the latch clicks; the clear snagless boot slides over the release tab, preventing it from snagging on nearby cables during removal.

How long do the gold-plated 50-micron contacts maintain reliable 10 Gbps performance before oxidation becomes a concern?

The 50-micron gold plating on 100% bare copper conductors resists oxidation for the life of the cable; no scheduled contact maintenance is required under normal indoor use.
