Monoprice Cat6A S/STP SlimRun Ethernet Cable 36AWG 1ft Blue

SlimRun Cat6A S/STP 1ft Patch Cable

This Monoprice Cat6A S/STP SlimRun Ethernet cable is built for 10-Gigabit Ethernet networks and remains backwards compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet. It uses 36AWG pure bare copper conductors instead of copper-clad aluminium, meeting UL Code 444 and TIA-568-C.2 fire and safety standards. The S/STP shielding with gold-plated contacts resists corrosion and maintains signal integrity in demanding environments. Its ultra-slim profile targets high-density installations such as data centres and telecommunications rooms.

Verify Port Spacing and Shielding Needs

Before ordering, confirm that the RJ45 ports on your switches, patch panels or servers accept the narrow snagless boot design without interference. Ensure your infrastructure requires or tolerates S/STP shielded cabling and that the grounding path for the shield is continuous end to end. Check that a one-foot length reaches between the intended ports without tension or sharp bends. The cable is not rated for in-wall, plenum or outdoor runs, so restrict use to indoor patching applications.

36AWG Shielded Build with Snagless Boot

The 36AWG stranded conductors make the cable noticeably thinner and lighter than standard 23 or 24 AWG Cat6A shielded cables, reducing congestion in crowded racks. Molded strain-relief boots and snagless moulds protect the latch during frequent insertion and removal. Gold-plated shielded connectors resist oxidation for reliable long-term contact. The S/STP construction wraps each pair and the overall bundle in foil, providing strong alien-crosstalk rejection for 10G performance.
