Overview
Key Features
SlimRun Cat6A is much lighter than standard 23AWG cat6A cables and is easier to route and install. The smaller cable saves space and improves airflow in high density environments, like server rooms.
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.
High Performance: This cable is perfect for 10-Gigabit ethernet and is backwards compatible with any existing fast ethernet and gigabit ethernet.
Reduces Congestion in High Density Spaces: Designed for high-density environments where space is a premium, SlimRun's ultra-slim cable and narrow boot design reduces congestion and simplifies moves, additions, and changes. This means that, along with saving space, you also save time and money!
Made of 100% pure bare copper wire, CM rated, and are therefore fully compliant with UL Code 444 and National Electrical Code TIA-568.2-D fire and safety standards, which require pure bare copper wire in communications cables.

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Ultra-slim 30AWG design dramatically reduces cable bulk in high-density racks and panels
- Supports full 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance with backward compatibility
- Pure bare copper conductors meet UL and NEC fire safety standards
- Snagless narrow boot design simplifies cable management in tight spaces
👎 Cons
- 30AWG conductors limit maximum recommended run length compared to standard 23AWG Cat6A
- 1-foot length is only practical for very short connections like patch panels to switches
- Thinner cable may be more susceptible to physical damage if pulled or snagged roughly
- Not ideal for long-distance runs where standard-gauge Cat6A would be more reliable
Frequently Asked Questions
What data speeds does this cable support?
It supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with Gigabit and Fast Ethernet connections.
How does the SlimRun design differ from a standard Cat6A cable?
SlimRun cables use 30AWG conductors instead of the standard 23AWG, resulting in a much thinner, lighter, and more flexible cable that is easier to route and takes up significantly less space.
Is this cable suitable for permanent in-wall installation?
It carries a CM rating and is fully compliant with UL Code 444 and NEC TIA-568.2-D fire and safety standards, making it suitable for in-building commercial installations.
What does "snagless" mean on this cable?
The snagless boot design features a molded strain relief that covers the RJ45 locking tab, preventing it from catching on other cables or equipment during insertion and removal.
Is this cable made with pure copper conductors?
Yes, it uses 100% pure bare copper wire rather than copper-clad aluminum, ensuring reliable signal integrity and compliance with industry standards.
