Our Elite Cat6A Stranded cable is 3.5mm vs 6.9mm of standard Cat6A cable. This cable is used to create patch cables between network interface cards (NICs) and wall plates or between patch panels, hubs, and other rack mounted equipment. Stranded cable is more flexible than solid cable for bends around corners and behind computers from wall jacks. Save space in and around your patch panels and networking equipment with a 28AWG cable. These cables meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D-10 specifications. Terminate only with 28AWG RJ45s and not keystone jacks. This Cat 6A cable is perfect for your shorter runs and its bulk length makes it great for custom jobs.
Features
Maximum Distance
The recommended maximum total channel length of 28AWG is up to 96.2ft. The max length patch cable is 52ft when it is by itself and not apart of a horizontal run of solid cable. See the chart below for more.

Â
Q: What is this Cat6A stranded cable designed for?
A: This cable is specifically designed for building custom patch cables used to connect network devices such as patch panels, switches, routers, servers, computers, and wall outlets. It is not intended for permanent horizontal in wall installations.
Q: Why should I choose 28 AWG instead of standard 23 AWG or 24 AWG cable?
A: The slim 28 AWG design takes up significantly less space than traditional Ethernet cable, improving airflow and cable management in high density network racks, patch panels, and server cabinets.
Q: Why are stranded conductors used instead of solid conductors?
A: Stranded conductors provide greater flexibility than solid conductors, making the cable easier to bend and route in tight spaces without placing excessive stress on the cable.
Q: Can this cable be installed inside walls?
A: No. This cable is intended for patch cable applications between networking equipment. Permanent in wall installations should use solid conductor bulk cable that is rated for structured cabling.
Q: Can I terminate this cable with standard Cat6A keystone jacks?
A: No. This cable should be terminated with RJ45 connectors specifically designed for 28 AWG stranded cable. Keystone jacks are designed for solid conductor cable and are not recommended.
Q: Does this cable support 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
A: Yes. This Cat6A stranded cable is designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet when installed within the recommended maximum channel length.
Q: What is the maximum recommended cable length?
A: The recommended maximum total channel length for 28 AWG cable is approximately 96.2 feet. When used as a standalone patch cable, the maximum recommended length is approximately 52 feet.
Q: Is this cable compatible with PoE devices?
A: Yes. This cable supports PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ applications in accordance with IEEE 802.3 standards, making it suitable for IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other powered network devices.
Q: Does the cable have sequential footage markings?
A: Yes. The cable jacket includes sequential footage markings, making it easy to measure and cut custom length patch cables.
Q: What are the advantages of using slim Cat6A cable?
A: Slim Cat6A cable helps improve airflow inside network racks, reduces cable congestion, makes cable management easier, and allows more cables to fit inside high density installations.
Q: Is this cable suitable for professional installations?
A: Yes. This Cat6A 28 AWG stranded cable is trusted by network installers, data centers, IT professionals, and system integrators for creating custom patch cables in residential and commercial networks.
