Slim 50 ft Cat6 patch cable
This Monoprice 134640 cable is a 50 ft Cat6 UTP patch lead with a 0.149 inch diameter and 28AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors. It carries a CMR riser rating and component tested 550MHz bandwidth for 1 to 10 Gigabit applications. The snagless narrow boot eases insertion and removal in tight panels.
Replaces bulky 23 or 24 AWG Cat6 runs
Standard Cat6 cables measure roughly 0.29 inch across, so this SlimRun design cuts the cross section roughly in half. The jump is worth it when rack density or cable tray fill is the limiting factor and you need to reclaim space without dropping to a lower category rating.
Suits high density racks and telecom rooms
Installers who manage crowded patch panels, dense switch stacks or frequent moves, additions and changes will benefit from the reduced bulk and flexible 28AWG build. Buyers who need outdoor burial, plenum rated jacket or shielded twisted pair construction should look at a different cable type.

| Features | SLIMRUN CAT6 DESIGN: SlimRun Cat6 is much thinner and lighter than standard Cat6 cables. The 0.149-inch diameter, 28AWG flexible cable and snagless narrow boot design is easier to install/uninstall and takes less space than conventional 23 or 24 AWG Cat6 cables. |
Questions about this item
How much clearance does the 0.149-inch diameter cable need behind a patch panel?
The 28AWG SlimRun cable measures 0.149 inches in diameter, roughly half the thickness of standard 23 or 24 AWG Cat6, so it fits in tight cable-management channels and high-density patch panels without blocking adjacent ports.
What is the correct way to seat the snagless narrow boot on the RJ45 plug?
Push the connector straight in until the tab clicks; the narrow boot prevents the latch from catching on neighbouring cables, but angling the plug during insertion can bend the tab and defeat the snagless design.
When should I replace this CMR-rated 550 MHz patch cable?
Replace it if the jacket shows kinks, the boot splits, or the plug latch no longer clicks securely; the pure bare copper conductors and CMR riser rating do not degrade with age, but physical damage to the 28AWG strands will affect 1 to 10 Gigabit performance.
