Monoprice 134221 Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable 1 ft Black 36AWG 2.6mm 550MHz

Micro SlimRun Cat6 1 ft Patch Cable

This Monoprice Cat6 UTP patch cable measures one foot and uses 36 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors. The 2.6 mm diameter Micro SlimRun construction is built for high-density installations where space is at a premium. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at 550 MHz and remains backward compatible with slower networks. The bootless connector design allows quick, tool-free changes in crowded panels.

Ideal for dense racks and tight cable runs

Network engineers fitting many links into narrow trunking or patch panels will benefit from the slim profile and snag-free boots. Builders who need longer reach, outdoor-rated jackets or shielded construction should look at other cable types. The short length limits use to adjacent equipment inside a single rack or cabinet. Installers requiring colour-coded jackets for circuit identification will need a different series.

2.6 mm outer diameter decides fit

The 2.6 mm thickness is the critical dimension that determines whether the cable routes through congested pathways and high-density patch panels. If the available clearance is smaller, this cable will not install cleanly. When the space allows, the slim profile reduces congestion and simplifies moves, additions and changes.
