Monoprice 116328 - Cat6A Ethernet Cable 7ft, Purple (10-Pack)

The Monoprice 116328 SlimRun Cat6A Ethernet Patch Cable pack includes ten 7-foot cables engineered for environments where cable density is a constant challenge. Using 30AWG pure bare copper conductors instead of the heavier 24AWG standard, each cable takes up roughly half the space of a conventional Cat6A patch cord. In a fully loaded 48-port switch, that difference translates to significantly better airflow, easier cable tracing, and cleaner overall rack aesthetics. Despite the slimmer profile, these cables meet the full Cat6A specification: 10 Gbps data rates and 550 MHz bandwidth for demanding network applications.

Each cable terminates with snagless RJ45 connectors that protect the locking tabs from snagging during installation or reconfiguration — a small detail that prevents the frustration of broken clips in tight spaces. The UTP construction keeps the cables flexible and lightweight, though environments with significant electromagnetic interference may benefit from shielded alternatives. At 7 feet, these cables are sized for same-rack or adjacent-rack patching rather than long cross-room runs. The purple jacket offers a distinct visual identifier for color-coded cable management schemes, and the 10-pack quantity covers a full set of connections in a single purchase.
