10-Pack Cat6A patch cables for dense installs
This 10-pack of Monoprice 115157 SlimRun Cat6A cables supplies ten 1.524 m black patch leads terminated with RJ45 connectors. The 30 AWG construction targets installers running multiple links in cabinets, racks or cable trays where space and airflow are at a premium. Each cable is rated to 550 MHz and supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet while remaining backward compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet gear.
Sustained 10 GbE throughput in tight bundles
The pure bare copper conductors meet UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 requirements, so signal integrity holds over the full 1.524 m length even when many cables run side by side. The 30 AWG gauge reduces bulk compared with typical 23 AWG Cat6A, limiting heat build-up in high-density bundles and helping maintain consistent 10 GbE performance during prolonged transfers. Backward compatibility ensures the same links serve older 100 Mb/s and 1 Gb/s equipment without re-cabling.
Slim profile eases routing and maintenance
At roughly half the diameter of standard Cat6A, these cables thread through existing pathways and patch panels without forcing oversized openings. Snagless, narrow boots protect the latch during repeated insertions and removals in crowded racks. The 10-pack format keeps spares on hand for quick replacements, while the black jacket simplifies visual tracing in dark enclosures. Pure copper construction avoids the brittleness and higher resistance associated with copper-clad aluminium alternatives.

Questions about this item
Does the 30AWG construction run hotter or draw more power than thicker cables when carrying 10G traffic all day?
No. These are passive copper cables with no active electronics, so they generate no heat and consume no power regardless of data rate or run time.
What equipment must I already have for the RJ45 connectors on these 1.524 m cables to work?
Any switch, router, server or PC with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports — the cables are fully backwards compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet gear.
Will the snagless narrow boots on these 30AWG cables fit tightly packed 23AWG patch panels I already use?
Yes. The narrower boot is designed for high-density panels and slides alongside existing 23AWG cables without interference.
