Cat6a 10 Gigabit Ethernet cable

This Cat6a UTP patch cord carries 10 Gigabit Ethernet signals over 15 feet with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. Its slim profile measures more than 38 percent smaller in diameter than standard Cat6a cable, improving airflow in dense racks and easing routing around corners. The snagless molded boots protect the locking tabs during frequent moves. Black jacket colour simplifies visual identification in crowded patch panels.

High-density data centres and network closets

The reduced diameter suits installers working in tight cabinets where airflow and cable management are priorities. Buyers who need shielded cable for noisy industrial environments should look at something else. Anyone requiring longer runs beyond the supplied length will need a different cable. Home users wanting a basic Cat5e or Cat6 link for slower speeds may find the extra performance unnecessary.

Unshielded Cat6a construction

This cable uses unshielded twisted-pair wiring rated for Cat6a 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance. The lack of shielding keeps the cable slim and flexible but does not protect against strong electromagnetic interference. Verify that your installation environment does not require shielded cabling before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does the Cat6a rating on this cable support 10 Gigabit Ethernet at the full 15 ft length?

Yes, the Cat6a specification is designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and this 15 ft patch cord meets that standard for full-speed performance.

How much smaller is the slim diameter compared to a standard Cat6a cable, and will it fit high-density patch panels?

The cable is more than 38% smaller in diameter than standard Cat6a, improving airflow and making it easier to route in crowded racks and high-density patch panels.

What is the correct way to remove the snagless RJ45 connectors without damaging the latch?

Press the molded boot's release tab down gently before pulling the connector straight out; yanking the cable body can break the snagless latch.
