SlimRun Cat6A 6-inch 5-pack

This pack contains five 6-inch Cat6A patch cords with RJ45 connectors, built from 30AWG stranded pure bare copper wire. The slim profile targets network administrators and installers working in high-density racks, patch panels or telecommunications rooms where space and airflow are at a premium.

10-Gigabit Ethernet distance limit

The Cat6A standard supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 metres, but a 6-inch jumper covers only a fraction of that reach. These cables are intended for very short links between adjacent ports, not for general horizontal runs, so plan your topology accordingly.

Replaces bulkier 23AWG Cat6A jumpers

Swapping standard 23AWG patch cords for these 30AWG SlimRun cables frees rack space and improves airflow without sacrificing 10-Gigabit performance. The upgrade is worthwhile when cable density restricts cooling or makes future changes difficult.

Questions about this item

Is the 6-inch length right for my patch-panel runs, or should I look for a longer version?

Each cable measures 6 inches, so it is suited for very short connections such as patch-panel to switch links; if you need longer runs, choose a different length from the same series.

What does the 10-Gigabit Ethernet rating mean when the cable is plugged into my switch?

The cable supports 10 Gbps data rates over its full 6-inch length and will also work with existing 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps equipment.

How does the 30 AWG construction affect the cable's performance ceiling compared with standard Cat6A?

The 30 AWG stranded conductors make the cable thinner and lighter than typical 23 AWG Cat6A while still meeting Cat6A electrical requirements for 10 Gbps operation.
