CAT6A Slim Ethernet Patch Cable - Unshielded

At 3.6 mm, this cable is about half the diameter of a standard Cat6A patch cord. Forty-eight of them in a bundle take up roughly the space of twelve regular ones. That's the difference between a patch field you can trace and one you can't, and between a rack that breathes and one that runs hot.

The 28 AWG stranded copper conductors are what make it slim, and they also make it flexible enough to dress tightly into cable managers and around switch ports. It is rated for 10G Ethernet and meets or exceeds ANSI/TIA Category 6A, and it works with Cat6 and Cat5e equipment.

Features

• Slim 3.6 mm diameter. Bundles shrink, airflow improves, and high-density patch panels stay legible.
• 10GBase-T rated. It also runs 5G, 2.5G, and 1G links.
• 100% stranded bare copper. It contains no copper-clad aluminum, and the stranding keeps it flexible.
• Short-body RJ45 plugs. The compact plug fits in tight port spacing and shallow enclosures. Contacts are 50µ gold-plated for corrosion resistance and a reliable connection.
• Molded snagless strain-relief boot. It protects the latch when you pull cable through a bundle.
• Unshielded (UTP). No shield means no grounding to worry about and the most flexible construction.
• CM rated PVC jacket. The cable is UL Listed, ETL Verified, and RoHS compliant.
• T568B wiring. It comes in 0.5 to 25 ft lengths and nine colors for color-coding your network.

Where It Fits

It suits dense patch panels and top-of-rack switches, stacked switch installations, server cabinets where cooling matters, wall-mount enclosures with little depth, network closets short on cable management room, and any 10G server-to-switch link inside the rack.

Good to Know

This is a patch cord. Like all 28 AWG cable, it's built for short runs inside the rack and at the work area, not for permanent horizontal runs. Because it's unshielded, keep it away from motors, welders, and high-voltage gear; use a shielded cord there.
