SlimRun Cat6A 10-pack for dense installs
Monoprice SlimRun Cat6A 30AWG cables come in a 10-pack of three-foot black patch leads. Each cable uses pure bare copper conductors rated to 550 MHz and supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet while remaining backwards compatible with existing Fast Ethernet and Gigabit networks. The CM-rated jacket meets UL 444 and TIA-568.2-D fire-safety requirements. Snagless narrow boots protect the RJ45 latch during frequent moves.
Sustained 10 Gbps throughput in tight bundles
Because the conductors are 30 AWG instead of the usual 23 AWG, the cable diameter measures 0.118 inch versus 0.29 inch for standard Cat6A. The reduced cross-section limits alien crosstalk when dozens of cables run side-by-side in cable trays or patch panels, so 10 Gbps links stay stable over the full 100-metre channel. Improved airflow around the thinner jacket also helps keep bundle temperatures lower during continuous high-load traffic.
Replaces bulk 23 AWG Cat6A where pathway space is
If you are retrofitting a rack or telecommunications room and cannot enlarge conduits or add ladder rack, these 0.149-inch SlimRun cables let you pull up to twice as many 10 Gbps links through the same openings. The upgrade is worth it when cable congestion is the bottleneck, not when you simply need a few patch cords for a desktop switch.

Questions about this item
Will the 0.118-inch diameter cables stay cool when packed tightly in a 10G rack all day?
The 0.118-inch diameter and 30AWG construction improve airflow in high-density racks, reducing heat buildup compared with standard 0.29-inch Cat6A cables.
What devices must I already have to use the RJ45 connectors on these cables?
You need equipment with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports — such as switches, routers, servers or patch panels — that support Cat6A or lower categories.
Will these Cat6A cables work with my older Cat5e patch panel and Gigabit switch?
Yes, the Cat6A rating is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 infrastructure, so they will run at Gigabit speeds on your existing hardware.
