Monoprice Inc. 113551 Cat6 SlimRun Ethernet Cable 14ft Yellow 28AWG

SlimRun Cat6 cable for dense racks

This Monoprice 113551 Cat6 patch cable uses a 28AWG conductor just 0.149 inch thick. The slim profile and snagless narrow boot reduce congestion in high-density patch panels and server cabinets. It is built with pure bare copper wire and meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 fire safety requirements. Component testing confirms optimized channel performance at 550MHz.

Upgrade from bulkier Cat6 or Cat5e patch cords

Replacing standard-diameter cables with this SlimRun version frees airflow and eases cable management when rack space is tight. The jump is worth it when moves, additions and changes are frequent and the narrower boot prevents latch snags during re-patching. Existing runs that already have ample clearance gain no practical benefit from the thinner jacket.

Suits network admins managing crowded cabinets

Installers who need maximum port density and easy reconfiguration will appreciate the reduced diameter. Buyers who want more storage or who require outdoor, direct-burial or plenum-rated jackets should look at something else. The 14-foot length suits typical rack-to-rack links but is not intended for horizontal runs exceeding the channel limit.
