Cat6A Slim Patch Cable: common questions
Can slim patch cables carry PoE?
Yes, for typical PoE and PoE+ devices on short patch runs. Thinner conductors have higher DC resistance and run warmer in large bundles, so keep slim cable to patching inside racks and closets and use standard-gauge cable for long runs or high-power PoE (802.3bt) in tight bundles.
Is slim Cat6A still full Cat6A performance?
Yes. It carries 10 Gbps in a reduced outside diameter, which helps when a cabinet is at its cable-fill limit. Because the conductor is thinner, use it as patch cable rather than long horizontal cable.
InstallerParts Cat6A Slim Ethernet Patch Cable – Blue
The InstallerParts Cat6A Slim Ethernet Patch Cable in Blue delivers full 10 Gigabit CAT6A performance in a slim form factor. With a cable diameter nearly half that of a standard CAT6A cable, it reduces congestion in high-density environments like data centers, server rooms, and telecom closets — while improving airflow and cable organization.
- Slim Line Design: Nearly half the diameter of standard CAT6A — for tighter, more organized cable bundles and better airflow in high-density environments.
- 100% Bare Copper Wire: No CCA (copper-clad aluminum) — pure copper ensures optimal signal integrity and long-term durability.
- 50 Micron Gold-Plated RJ45 Plugs: Corrosion-resistant contacts for a reliable, low-loss connection every time.
- 10 Gbps Speed / 500 MHz Bandwidth: Meets the CAT6A channel requirement of 500 MHz and is tested to 550 MHz for additional margin — backward compatible with CAT6 and CAT5 networks.
- Standards Compliant: Meets or exceeds TIA/EIA T-568B. UL/cUL Listed. RoHS compliant.
- 30-Day Returns: Return within 30 days of receipt with an RMA.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Cat6A Slim different from standard Cat6A?
The slim cable has roughly half the diameter of standard Cat6A, making it ideal for high-density rack cabling and improved airflow, while still delivering full 10Gbps / 500MHz performance.
Can 28AWG cable be used for PoE?
Yes, it supports standard PoE and PoE+ applications. For long-distance high-power PoE++ runs, keep bundle lengths shorter and allow for the heat characteristics of the thinner conductor.
Is it backward compatible with Cat6 / Cat5e equipment?
Yes. With standard RJ45 connectors and T568B wiring, it is fully backward compatible with existing Cat6 and Cat5e network hardware.
