Slim Cat6a Patch Cable for Dense Racks

This 6 ft blue Cat6a UTP patch cable is built for high-density network connections between computers, servers, routers, printers, patch panels and switches. Its 28 AWG stranded copper construction makes it more than 38% slimmer than standard Cat6a cables, improving airflow and easing routing through crowded cable management panels. Snagless RJ45 moulded boots protect locking tabs during installation. It supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 10 Gbps.

Ideal for Tight Data Centre Runs.

Installers working in packed racks or narrow cable trays benefit from the reduced diameter and flexible stranded wire. Buyers who need longer horizontal runs beyond the six-foot length should look at bulk cable solutions instead. The fixed RJ45 connectors on both ends also make it unsuitable for field termination or keystone jack projects.

6 ft Length Limits Use to Short Patch Connections

The six-foot length is the single specification that decides fit. It is designed for short patch links between adjacent rack equipment or from a wall outlet to a nearby device. Any installation requiring a longer reach will need a different cable length.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the cable is delivering 10 Gbps after I plug it in?

Run a throughput test between the two connected devices; a sustained rate near 10 Gbps shows the link is operating at the rated speed.

What comes with the cable and what extra items might I need?

The package contains the 6 ft Cat6a slim patch cable with RJ45 connectors on both ends; no additional components are included, so ensure your devices have RJ45 ports.

Which version should I choose for a high-density rack?

The N261-S06-BL is 38% slimmer than standard Cat6a, uses 28 AWG stranded copper and has snagless boots, making it the best fit for tight cable-management panels.
