(Part No. – C828-820OR-CG) TAA CAT 6A Slim Patch Cable, UTP Stranded, Finger Boot, Orange, 20ft – TAA Cat6A Slim Patch Cables – 10-Gig Certified – Shaxon

Shaxon’s TAA Compliant CAT 6A Slim Patch Cables are manufactured in the United States to meet Trade Agreements Act (TAA) requirements—perfect for secure, government, and high-density commercial installations. Designed for performance and space optimization, these ultra-slim cables feature stranded 28 AWG UTP construction and a compact, flush finger boot for precise fit and protection in crowded patch fields.

With a reduced 0.15-inch outer diameter, these cables significantly improve airflow and cable management in tight spaces, making them ideal for use in dense network racks, data centers, and patch panels. Despite the small form factor, these cables meet or exceed CAT 6A performance standards and are fully compatible with CAT 6 and CAT 5e systems.

CATEGORY 6A
Category 6A (Augmented Category 6) cable supports high-speed 10GBASE-T Ethernet and is backward compatible with CAT 6, 5e, and 3 standards. It is ideal for modern network demands including data centers, high-speed workstations, and PoE applications.

CABLING STANDARDS
Published by ISO/IEC, CENELEC, and TIA, global cabling standards require backbone cabling to use solid-conductor cables ranging from 22 to 24 AWG. For patching purposes, stranded 28 AWG cables are preferred for flexibility in shorter runs and high-density setups.
