SlimRun Cat6A 50 ft Blue UTP

This Monoprice SlimRun Cat6A patch cable delivers 10‑Gigabit Ethernet performance over a 50 ft run. It uses 30 AWG pure bare copper conductors instead of copper‑clad aluminium, meeting UL 444 and TIA‑568‑C.2 fire‑safety requirements. The narrow snagless boot eases routing in dense racks. It is built for installers who need high‑speed links in tight pathways.

Replaces bulkier 23 AWG Cat6A

Standard 23 AWG Cat6A cables occupy twice the diameter, limiting how many links fit in a tray or conduit. This 30 AWG design lets you add or upgrade 10G connections without expanding cable pathways, saving labour and material cost. The jump is worth it when rack space or airflow is constrained and you cannot enlarge existing routing. It is not for runs that exceed the 50 ft length supplied.

Limited to 10GBASE‑T distance rules

The cable supports 10‑Gigabit Ethernet only up to the channel length allowed by the 10GBASE‑T standard; longer runs will fall back to lower speeds. Backwards compatibility covers Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, but the 30 AWG gauge does not extend the maximum distance defined for 10G operation. No other speed grades or protocols are specified.

Questions about this item

How much space does the 30AWG diameter save compared with a standard 23AWG Cat6A cable?

The SlimRun Cat6A measures roughly half the diameter of a 23AWG Cat6A cable, letting you fit more runs in the same pathway and improving airflow in dense racks.

What is the correct way to seat the snagless narrow boot on a patch panel port?

Align the RJ45 connector squarely with the jack and push straight in until the boot clicks; rocking the plug sideways bends the narrow boot and can damage the latch.

When should I consider replacing this 50ft Cat6A patch cable?

Replace it if the jacket shows kinks, the snagless boot cracks, or certification testing reveals insertion-loss or NEXT failures on a 10G link.
