Monoprice 113522 SlimRun Cat6 Ethernet Cable 2ft

The Monoprice 113522 SlimRun Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable addresses a specific and common pain point in networking: cable congestion. In server rooms, home labs, and dense patch panel setups, standard 24AWG cables quickly become unmanageable. The SlimRun's 28AWG pure bare copper conductors produce a cable that is noticeably thinner and far more pliable, making it easier to route, bundle, and manage in tight quarters. Despite the slimmer profile, Cat6 performance is maintained, supporting gigabit speeds with headroom for 10GBASE-T over its short 2-foot length.

This particular cable is CMR riser rated, making it appropriate for in-building vertical runs where fire safety codes apply. The 2-foot length is purpose-built for short patch connections — switch to patch panel, or between closely mounted equipment. Pure bare copper conductors provide an advantage over cheaper copper-clad aluminum alternatives, offering lower resistance and more reliable long-term performance. For anyone building or maintaining a structured cabling environment where density is a concern, the SlimRun line offers a practical solution without sacrificing signal integrity.
