Monoprice 114811 SlimRun Cat6 Ethernet Cable 5ft

The Monoprice SlimRun Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable addresses one of the most common pain points in networking: cable clutter. With an outer diameter of just 0.149 inches using 28AWG stranded copper conductors, this cable takes up a fraction of the space of a standard Cat6 patch cable while still delivering full Cat6 performance. It is component-tested and supports 550MHz bandwidth, ensuring reliable high-speed data transfer for gigabit networking and 10-gigabit Ethernet on shorter runs. The stranded construction provides the flexibility needed for routing through tight spaces, patch panels, and dense rack environments where rigid solid-core cables would be impractical.

The snagless narrow-profile RJ45 connectors are designed to prevent the locking tabs from snagging on adjacent cables or equipment — a common source of broken clips in high-density setups. This 5-foot model is CMR (riser) rated, making it suitable for vertical runs between floors in addition to standard horizontal patching. For data centers, server racks, home labs, or any environment where airflow and cable management matter, the SlimRun's dramatically reduced profile lets you fit more cables into less space while maintaining the performance standards you need from a Cat6 connection.
