Overview

High-Performance Networking in a Slim Design

Monoprice SlimRun Cat6A Ethernet Cables deliver exceptional performance for 10G environments, featuring a slim and flexible design for easy installation.

  • Type: Cat6A S/STP
  • Wire Gauge: 36AWG
  • Connector: RJ45
  • Shielding: S/STP (Shielded Twisted Pair)
  • Conductor: Pure Bare Copper Wire

Key Features

S/STP Shielding: The cable's shielded connectors with gold-plated contacts, molded strain-relief boots, and snagless molds are very durable and resist corrosion.

Snagless and Narrow Boot Design: The narrow boot and snagless design make this cable the perfect choice for high density environments, like data centers or a telecommunications room.

Reduces Congestion in High Density Spaces:Designed for high density environments where space is a premium, SlimRun's ultra-slim 36AWG cable and narrow boot design reduces congestion and simplifies moves, additions, and changes. This means along with saving space, you also save time, and money.

High Performance: This cable is perfect for 10-Gigabit Ethernet and is backwards compatible with any existing Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet.
