Monoprice 133215 Cat6A SlimRun 10G Ethernet Cable 30 ft Blue 5-Pack

30 ft Cat6A 5-pack for 10G networks

This five-pack supplies five blue Cat6A patch cables, each 30 ft long, rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The SlimRun construction uses a thinner jacket than standard 23 AWG Cat6A, making the cables lighter and easier to route in dense racks or telecommunications rooms. Snagless narrow boots help prevent latch damage during frequent moves. The cables are backwards compatible with existing Fast Ethernet and Gigabit links.

Check port spacing and cable management

Verify that your switch, patch panel or server ports accept the slimmer boot profile and that the 30 ft length reaches between devices without excess slack. Confirm the pathway has enough clearance for the reduced diameter if you are bundling multiple runs. Ensure the equipment supports 10G speeds to use the full rated performance.

Thermals noise and power draw

Passive copper cables generate no heat, produce no audible noise and draw no power of their own. The smaller diameter improves airflow around adjacent cables in high-density installations, helping connected equipment stay cooler. No active components mean there are no thermal or acoustic concerns in normal use.
