Monoprice 15162 Cat6A Ethernet Cable 10-Pack 7ft Blue SlimRun 30AWG

High-density 10G patch cable 10-pack

Monoprice SlimRun Cat6A cables deliver 10-gigabit Ethernet performance in a 30AWG form factor. Each 7-foot blue patch cord uses pure bare copper conductors and snagless RJ45 plugs. The 10-pack suits network administrators wiring server racks or telecommunications rooms. Backwards compatibility covers existing Fast Ethernet and Gigabit links.

Half-width design frees pathway space

At 0.118-inch diameter the cable is roughly half the thickness of standard 23AWG Cat6A, letting you fit more runs in the same tray or conduit. The slim profile improves airflow around dense switch ports and reduces congestion without expanding cable pathways. CM-rated jacket meets UL 444 and TIA-568.2-D fire-safety requirements for in-wall routing.

Replaces bulky 23AWG Cat6A runs

The jump is worth it when rack density or pathway fill makes standard 0.29-inch cables impractical. Installers who need 550 MHz bandwidth but cannot add ladder tray or enlarge conduit gain headroom. Buyers who need only a few short links or prefer thicker jackets for pull strength will not benefit from the slim construction.
