Monoprice 114809 Cat6 Network Ethernet Cable 3 ft Purple .149 inch SlimRun

Ultra-slim Cat6 cable for dense racks

The Monoprice 114809 is a 3 ft purple Cat6 patch cable built with 28 AWG pure bare copper wire. Its 0.149-inch diameter and snagless narrow boot are made for high-density patch panels and tight cable-management channels where standard cables cause congestion. It suits installers who need reliable Gigabit links in crowded cabinets or dense wall plates.

Practical limits of Cat6 UTP at 550 MHz

Component testing confirms performance up to 550 MHz, supporting typical Gigabit Ethernet runs within the 100 m channel limit defined by TIA-568-C.2. The CMR riser rating allows vertical runs between floors, but the cable is not rated for plenum spaces. Unshielded construction means it should be kept away from strong EMI sources such as fluorescent ballasts or power conduits.

Simple push-in install; watch the bend radius

The snagless boot protects the latch during insertion and removal, so connections seat cleanly on first try. Because the jacket is only 0.149 inch thick, sharp bends or tight zip-ties can deform the pairs and degrade crosstalk margin. Route with gentle curves, avoid staples that pinch, and test each drop with a qualified cable certifier after installation.
