Monoprice 115158 Cat6A Ethernet Patch Cable 1.524m Blue 10-Pack

SKU CH-VSPE-4EKKA

A 10-pack of 1.524 m Cat6A patch cables rated for 550 MHz and 10 GbE, using 30 AWG pure bare copper for slimmer routing in dense racks

  • TypeNetwork Ethernet Cables
  • Length1.524
  • ColorBlue
  • Features10-Pack.
  • Supports 10 Gbps networking at 550 MHz bandwidth
  • Ten cables per pack for multi-port deployments

  • Pure bare copper conductors meet UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2
  • Snagless narrow boots simplify routing in dense racks

What you get

A ten-pack of Cat6A patch cables, each 1.524 metres long, with RJ45 connectors on both ends. They are built from pure bare copper wire and rated for 550 MHz bandwidth to support 10-Gigabit Ethernet. The blue jackets are UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 compliant for fire safety. This bundle suits installers wiring multiple drops in a rack or office.

Replacing bulkier Cat6A

Standard 23 AWG Cat6A cables occupy more tray space and restrict airflow in dense racks. These 30 AWG SlimRun cables are roughly half the diameter, so you can fit more runs in the same pathway without pulling new containment. The upgrade pays off when cabinet density is the bottleneck rather than link speed. Buyers who need heavier gauge conductors for PoE budgets beyond the cable rating should look elsewhere.

Sustained-installation behaviour

The narrow snagless boots release cleanly from crowded patch panels, reducing connector damage during frequent moves. Because the thinner jacket dissipates heat more readily, bundles stay cooler under continuous 10 Gbps loads than thicker equivalents. Pure copper construction keeps insertion loss stable over time, avoiding the degradation seen with copper-clad aluminium alternatives. The cables remain flexible after repeated routing cycles.

Questions about this item

Will the 30AWG cable fit into a standard RJ45 keystone jack?

Yes, each cable terminates in a standard RJ45 plug that fits any Cat6A-compatible keystone jack or patch panel port.

What is the common mistake when routing the SlimRun cables through a 1U patch panel?

The 10-pack bundles are thin; installers often pull multiple cables at once and exceed the 23AWG bend radius, causing kinks near the snagless boot.

How often should the patch cables in a 10G server rack be inspected for replacement?

Inspect the snagless boots and plug latches during any rack re-cabling; replace any cable showing boot cracks or latch fatigue to maintain 550MHz performance.
