Ultra-Slim Cat6a 10G Ethernet Cable

This 3 ft Cat6a UTP cable measures just 2.8 mm in diameter, making it over 50% slimmer than standard Cat6a cables. It uses 32 AWG copper conductors and 3 µm gold-plated RJ45 connectors to support 10 Gbps network speeds. The blue jacket allows quick visual identification in dense rack or workstation environments. It connects servers, switches, routers and other critical components in 10G Ethernet networks.

Ideal for High-Density Racks and Tight Cable Runs

Installers who need maximum airflow in full racks and easy routing around corners or through crowded management panels will benefit from the ultra-slim profile. The moulded strain relief and snagless design simplify patching in confined spaces. Builders who require longer patch leads or outdoor-rated jackets should look at alternative cable types not covered by this model.

Consistent 10 Gbps Throughput Under Continuous Load

The 32 AWG copper construction and gold-plated contacts maintain signal integrity during sustained 10 Gbps data transfers across the 0.91 m length. Reduced cable bulk minimises airflow obstruction, helping rack equipment maintain thermal stability during prolonged high-bandwidth operation. The Cat6a certification ensures the cable meets the performance standard for its rated speed and distance.

Questions about this item

What RJ45 ports must my equipment already have to use this cable?

Both devices need standard RJ45 ports to accept the male connectors on this cable.

Will this 2.8 mm ultra-slim cable work with my existing Cat5e or Cat6 patch panels?

Yes, the RJ45 connectors are backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 ports.

How can I verify the link is running at 10 Gbps after I connect it?

Check the port LEDs or OS network status; a 10 Gbps link should be reported.
