Monoprice 15153 Cat6A Ethernet Cable 30AWG 10-Pack 3 Feet Black

SlimRun Cat6A 10-pack for dense installs

Monoprice SlimRun Cat6A 30AWG cables come in a 10-pack of three-foot black patch leads. Each cable uses pure bare copper conductors rated to 550 MHz and supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet while remaining backwards compatible with existing Fast Ethernet and Gigabit networks. The CM-rated jacket meets UL 444 and TIA-568.2-D fire-safety requirements. Snagless narrow boots protect the RJ45 latch during frequent moves.

Sustained 10 Gbps throughput in tight bundles

Because the conductors are 30 AWG instead of the usual 23 AWG, the cable diameter measures 0.118 inch versus 0.29 inch for standard Cat6A. The reduced cross-section limits alien crosstalk when dozens of cables run side-by-side in cable trays or patch panels, so 10 Gbps links stay stable over the full 100-metre channel. Improved airflow around the thinner jacket also helps keep bundle temperatures lower during continuous high-load traffic.

Replaces bulk 23 AWG Cat6A where pathway space is

If you are retrofitting a rack or telecommunications room and cannot enlarge conduits or add ladder rack, these 0.149-inch SlimRun cables let you pull up to twice as many 10 Gbps links through the same openings. The upgrade is worth it when cable congestion is the bottleneck, not when you simply need a few patch cords for a desktop switch.
