SlimRun Cat6 5 ft patch cable

The Monoprice 114813 is a Cat6 UTP patch cable with a 0.149-inch diameter 28AWG construction. Its SlimRun design makes it much thinner and lighter than standard 23 or 24 AWG cables. The snagless narrow boot simplifies installation and removal in tight spaces. It is built with pure bare copper wire for reliable performance.

Verify port spacing and cable routing

Check that your patch panels, switches or wall plates have enough clearance for the narrow boot design. Ensure the 1.524 metre length reaches between your devices without tension. Confirm your existing infrastructure supports Cat6 component-rated performance for 1 to 10 Gigabit applications. The purple jacket helps identify this link in colour-coded installations.

Fits high-density racks and cable managers

The reduced 0.149-inch diameter allows more cables to fit in existing pathways, trays and managers. This frees up space in crowded data centres or telecommunications rooms without expanding cable routes. Component testing ensures each cable meets 550MHz specifications for dependable throughput. CMR riser rating supports vertical runs between floors.

Questions about this item

Does the 5 ft purple cable come with any extra connectors or do I need to buy RJ45 plugs separately?

The cable arrives with snagless RJ45 plugs already crimped on both ends, so no separate connectors are required.

Should I choose the 5 ft length or one of the other sizes such as 10 ft or 25 ft for a typical desk run?

Pick the shortest length that reaches your device without tension; 5 ft suits close rack or desk connections, while 10 ft, 14 ft, 20 ft or 25 ft give more slack for longer runs.

What does the 550 MHz rating mean when the cable is plugged into a 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps port?

The 550 MHz bandwidth supports the full 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps signal spectrum, so the link runs at the port's rated speed without the cable becoming the bottleneck.
