C2G 1ft (0.3m) Cat6a Snagless Unshielded (UTP) Slim Ethernet Network Patch Cable - Orange

This Cat6a slim Ethernet patch cable delivers 10 Gigabit speeds in a compact, snagless design. Its 28 AWG stranded conductors and 4.8mm outer diameter make it ideal for high-density patching where space is at a premium, while the orange jacket allows for easy color-coding. The molded, snagless boots protect the locking tabs during installation and ensure secure connections in any RJ-45 port.

Advantages

The slim profile reduces cable bulk and improves airflow in crowded racks, helping to maintain optimal operating temperatures for network equipment. Despite its thin construction, this cable fully supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet up to 500 MHz bandwidth, making it a reliable choice for demanding applications. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design minimizes crosstalk and interference, while the bare copper conductors provide excellent conductivity and signal integrity. The snagless boots prevent accidental disconnections and extend the life of the cable by protecting the connector clips.

Suitable for

• High-density data centers and server rooms
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in enterprise networks
• Color-coded network installations for easy identification
• Connecting computers, switches, routers, and other network devices
• Applications where space is limited and cable management is critical

Recommendations

For optimal performance, pair this cable with Cat6a rated patch panels and keystone jacks. When bundling multiple slim cables, use Velcro straps instead of zip ties to avoid excessive pressure on the thin jacket. The orange color is perfect for identifying uplink connections or segregating VLANs, making troubleshooting faster and easier.
