High-Density Cat6a Patch Cable

This 2 ft Cat6a patch cable connects computers, servers, routers, printers, patch panels and switches in high-density data centres. Its 28 AWG stranded copper construction is over 38% slimmer than standard Cat6a cables, making it easy to route through cable management panels. The snagless RJ45 moulded boots protect connector tabs from damage during installation and removal.

10 Gbps Speed Limit

The cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 10 Gbps, which is the practical throughput ceiling of the Cat6a standard for this length. Signal integrity is maintained by the unshielded twisted-pair design and gold-plated contacts. Runs longer than the specified length would require testing to confirm performance at the same rate.

Slim 28 AWG Profile

The 28 AWG stranded copper conductors determine whether this cable fits your routing constraints. At 2 ft, it is intended for short patch links inside racks or between adjacent devices. Buyers needing longer runs, shielded construction or solid-core wire for permanent installation should select a different cable type.

Questions about this item

How do I pick the right length for my setup?

This cable is 2 ft long and designed for short runs between equipment in a rack or on a desk. Measure the distance between ports and add a little slack before ordering.

What does the 10 Gbps rating mean for my network?

It supports Cat6a performance up to 10 Gbps, so it will not bottleneck a 10 Gigabit Ethernet link when both ends and the switch are also rated for that speed.

Will the RJ45 plugs fit standard ports without catching?

Yes, the snagless moulded boots protect the locking tabs on both RJ45 connectors, making insertion and removal smooth even in tight 45-port patch panels.
