SlimRun Cat6 cable for dense racks
This Monoprice 113551 Cat6 patch cable uses a 28AWG conductor just 0.149 inch thick. The slim profile and snagless narrow boot reduce congestion in high-density patch panels and server cabinets. It is built with pure bare copper wire and meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 fire safety requirements. Component testing confirms optimized channel performance at 550MHz.
Upgrade from bulkier Cat6 or Cat5e patch cords
Replacing standard-diameter cables with this SlimRun version frees airflow and eases cable management when rack space is tight. The jump is worth it when moves, additions and changes are frequent and the narrower boot prevents latch snags during re-patching. Existing runs that already have ample clearance gain no practical benefit from the thinner jacket.
Suits network admins managing crowded cabinets
Installers who need maximum port density and easy reconfiguration will appreciate the reduced diameter. Buyers who want more storage or who require outdoor, direct-burial or plenum-rated jackets should look at something else. The 14-foot length suits typical rack-to-rack links but is not intended for horizontal runs exceeding the channel limit.

Questions about this item
How much clearance does the 0.149-inch diameter cable need behind a patch panel?
The SlimRun Cat6 cable measures 0.149 inches in diameter, so it fits tight cable managers and high-density patch panels without blocking adjacent ports.
What is the correct way to seat the snagless RJ45 plug so the latch does not catch?
Push the narrow-profile boot straight in until the latch clicks; angling the connector can bend the snagless tab and prevent a secure lock.
Does the 28AWG pure bare copper construction require any special handling over time?
No special maintenance is needed; the cable is CMR riser rated and component tested for 550 MHz performance, and Monoprice backs it with a lifetime warranty.
