Monoprice 115169 Cat6A Ethernet Patch Cable 10-Pack

The Monoprice 115169 SlimRun Cat6A Ethernet Patch Cable 10-Pack is designed for environments where cable density and airflow matter. Each cable uses 30AWG pure bare copper conductors — roughly 40% thinner than standard Cat6A patch cables — while still meeting the Cat6A specification for 10 Gbps throughput at up to 550 MHz. This makes them particularly well suited for data centers, server rooms, and high-density networking closets where dozens or hundreds of cables compete for limited space.

At 14 feet per cable, this 10-pack covers typical patch panel-to-switch and wall jack-to-workstation distances. The snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking tabs from damage during frequent plugging and unplugging, which is especially valuable in environments with tight cable bundles. While the slim gauge delivers clear benefits for organization and airflow, it does mean these cables are less robust under physical stress and less suitable for PoE deployments that demand higher current capacity.
