Ideal for high-density Cat6a connections

This Cat6a patch cable links PCs, servers, routers, printers, patch panels and switches in crowded racks. Its four-foot length keeps runs short and tidy. The 28 AWG stranded copper conductors support data rates up to 1.25 GB/s. RoHS compliance confirms environmentally friendly materials.

Slim profile eases cable management

At over 38% slimmer than standard Cat6a cables, it routes cleanly through dense panels and tight pathways. Snagless moulded RJ45 plugs protect locking tabs during frequent moves. Moulded strain relief reinforces each connector end. The flexible stranded build simplifies daily dressing and re-routing tasks.

Practical limits of the Cat6a standard

The cable is rated for 10 Gbps Ethernet over its full four-foot span. Performance beyond that speed or over longer distances is not supported by this specification. Shielding is not included, so environments with heavy EMI may require a different construction. Buyers needing extended runs or higher bandwidth should consider other categories.
