Overview
Key Features
Component level in‑wall rated CM for server grade applications.
Superior Performance: The superior high frequency characteristics and 10G data transmission rates make these cables ideal for critical server grade networking equipment, such as cloud computing, video surveillance, and online high resolution video streaming.
S/FTP Shielding: The twisted pairs are individually shielded and are paired with shielded plugs with 50um gold plated contacts to repel EMI in electrically noisy environments.
Snagless and Narrow Boot Design: The narrow and snagless boot design make these cables the perfect choice for high density environments, such as data centers or telecommunications rooms.
Reduces Congestion in High Density Spaces: Designed for high density environments where space is a premium, the ultraslim 30AWG 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.

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Ultra-slim 30AWG profile dramatically reduces cable bulk in dense rack and panel environments.
- S/FTP double shielding provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk.
- Full Cat6A rating supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet speeds at up to 500 MHz bandwidth.
- Short 1-foot length is ideal for tidy switch-to-patch-panel or device-to-device connections.
- Snagless boot design helps prevent connector damage during insertion and removal.
👎 Cons
- At only 1 foot long, it is limited to very close-proximity connections and offers no reach flexibility.
- The 30AWG conductors are not recommended for longer permanent runs where thicker gauge cable is preferred.
- Available in blue only in this listing, which may not suit color-coded cabling schemes.
- Slim cable can be slightly more delicate to handle than standard-gauge Ethernet cables.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the SlimRun cable different from a standard Cat6A cable?
The SlimRun uses 30AWG conductors instead of the typical 24AWG, resulting in a significantly thinner and more flexible cable that reduces bundle congestion in dense installations like server racks and patch panels.
Does the slim 30AWG design affect network performance?
No, this cable is fully Cat6A rated and supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet speeds at frequencies up to 500 MHz. The thinner gauge is suitable for patch cable lengths and does not compromise performance at 1 foot.
What does S/FTP double shielding mean?
S/FTP means each individual pair of wires is wrapped in foil shielding (FTP) and the entire cable bundle is surrounded by a braided shield (S). This dual-layer protection minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk.
Is this cable compatible with standard RJ-45 ports?
Yes, it uses standard RJ-45 connectors and is compatible with any device that has an Ethernet port supporting Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6A connections.
