SlimRun Cat6A 10-pack for dense racks

This ten-pack of red SlimRun Cat6A patch cables is built for installers who need to maximise port density in data centres and telecommunications rooms. Each 1.524 m lead uses 30 AWG pure bare copper conductors and a 0.118-inch diameter jacket that is roughly half the thickness of a standard 23 AWG Cat6A cable. The snagless narrow boot eases insertion and removal in tightly packed panels.

550 MHz bandwidth and 10 GbE ceiling

The cable is rated to 550 MHz and supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet over its full length while remaining backwards compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit links. Because the conductors are 30 AWG rather than the usual 23 AWG, the maximum certified channel distance for 10 GbE is shorter than the 100 m allowed for standard Cat6A; long horizontal runs should use thicker cable.

30 AWG gauge decides fit and reach

The 30 AWG construction is the single specification that determines whether this pack suits a job. It delivers the space savings and airflow gains needed in high-density patching, but it limits the 10 GbE reach compared with 23 AWG alternatives. Buyers who need the full 100 metre 10 GbE channel must choose a standard-gauge cable instead.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the 10-pack and a single cable?

The listing supplies ten identical 1.524 m red Cat6A patch cables in one package. If you need fewer runs, buy only what you need; the ten-pack simply gives you spares for future drops or replacements.

What does the 550 MHz rating mean for my 10 GbE link?

The 550 MHz bandwidth supports the full 10 GbE signal over the 1.524 m length, so you get rated 10 Gigabit throughput without the distance penalty that longer runs would introduce.

Does the 30 AWG construction limit the cable to slower speeds?

No. The 30 AWG pure bare copper conductors still meet Cat6A electrical specs, so the cable carries 10 GbE just like a thicker 23 AWG version while occupying roughly half the diameter.
