Monoprice 113528 Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable 3ft Blue

The Monoprice SlimRun Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable addresses one of the most persistent challenges in network infrastructure: cable congestion. At just 0.149 inches in diameter with 28AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors, this cable takes up roughly half the space of a conventional Cat6 patch cable. In high-density environments like data centers, server racks, and structured cabling closets, that difference multiplies across dozens or hundreds of connections, dramatically improving airflow, organization, and the ability to trace individual runs.

Despite its slim profile, the cable maintains full Cat6 performance specifications with 550MHz bandwidth and support for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet within the standard Cat6 distance limits. The snagless RJ45 boot features a narrow profile that prevents the locking tab from snagging on adjacent cables during insertion and removal — a small but meaningful detail when working in crowded patch panels. The CMR riser rating means the cable meets fire safety standards for vertical runs between floors in commercial buildings. Each cable is component-tested to verify performance, ensuring consistent and reliable connectivity out of the package.
