Precision-Engineered Connector Technology for Reliable Data Transmission

Experience the engineering excellence behind every connection with these meticulously crafted RJ45 connectors that ensure consistent 10 Gigabit performance. The translucent blue housing allows visual inspection of wire positioning while the gold-plated contacts provide superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. The snagless boot design features a low-profile construction that prevents cable damage during installation in tight spaces while maintaining easy grip for removal. The connector's narrow profile works seamlessly with high-density patch panels and switch ports, eliminating the port blocking common with bulky standard connectors. Internal strain relief protects against cable fatigue at the critical connection point, while the precision-molded housing ensures consistent impedance matching throughout the connector assembly. This attention to detail translates into reduced packet loss, lower latency, and more reliable network performance in demanding enterprise environments.

Technical Specifications

  • Gold-plated RJ45 contacts for optimal signal integrity
  • Translucent housing for visual wire position verification
  • Snagless boot with integrated strain relief protection
  • Narrow profile design for high-density applications
  • 50-micron gold plating on all contact surfaces

Applications

  • Critical network connections requiring maximum uptime
  • High-frequency trading and low-latency applications
  • Medical equipment networking with reliability requirements

Advanced Strain Relief Engineering for Long-Term Durability

Discover the sophisticated strain relief system that protects your network investment through thousands of connection cycles. The multi-segment boot design distributes mechanical stress across the cable jacket, preventing the sharp bends that cause premature failure in standard cables. This engineering approach extends cable life significantly in environments with frequent plugging and unplugging, such as testing labs, temporary installations, and mobile network setups. The translucent construction reveals the internal wire management while the blue coloring provides instant visual identification in complex network environments. The boot's flexible segments maintain cable integrity during movement while the reinforced connection point ensures lasting electrical performance. This level of mechanical protection is essential for maintaining network reliability in dynamic environments where cables experience regular handling and repositioning.

Technical Specifications

  • Multi-segment strain relief boot construction
  • Flexible polymer material rated for 10,000+ insertion cycles
  • Reinforced cable-to-connector junction point
  • Translucent blue material for visual inspection capability
  • Enhanced bend radius protection at critical stress points

Applications

  • Network testing and certification environments
  • Temporary event and exhibition networking setups
  • Mobile command centers and field operations
  • Laboratory and research facility connections
  • Educational institutions with frequent equipment changes

FAQs

What is the Monoprice 15131 SlimRun Cat6A Ethernet cable and what makes it different from standard Cat6A cables?
The Monoprice 15131 SlimRun Cat6A is a 3-foot gray Ethernet network patch cable sold in a 5-pack. What makes it unique is its ultra-slim design at just 0.149 inches diameter, which is half the size of standard Cat6A cables (0.29 inches). This SlimRun design uses 30 AWG flexible cable construction with a 0.118-inch diameter and snagless narrow boot design, making it significantly thinner and lighter than conventional 23 or 24 AWG Cat6A cables while maintaining full Cat6A performance standards.
What are the key specifications and technical features of the Monoprice SlimRun Cat6A cable?
The Monoprice 15131 features Category 6a cable type with 30 AWG construction, 3-foot length, and RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. It's designed as a patch cable with gray coloring and comes in a 5-pack configuration. The cable is Channel Tested for optimum performance and maintains full Cat6A specifications while offering the space-saving benefits of the ultra-slim 0.149-inch diameter design with snagless boot connectors for easy installation and removal.
What devices and applications are compatible with the Monoprice SlimRun Cat6A cable?
The SlimRun Cat6A cable provides universal connectivity for a wide range of LAN network components including PCs, computer servers, printers, routers, switch boxes, network media players, NAS devices, VoIP phones, and PoE-enabled devices. It's designed for any application requiring reliable Cat6A Ethernet connectivity, from basic computer networking to advanced data center applications, telecommunications rooms, and high-density network environments.
How does the slim design benefit high-density network installations?
The SlimRun Cat6A's half-size design (0.149" vs 0.29" for standard cables) significantly reduces congestion in high-density environments like data centers and telecommunications rooms. You can fit twice as many cables in the same space, which saves time and cost by eliminating the need to expand or replace existing cable pathways. The thinner profile and lighter weight also improve airflow in server racks and make cable management much easier in crowded network installations.
What is the cable length and how many cables come in the package?
Each Monoprice 15131 SlimRun Cat6A cable is 3 feet long, and the package includes 5 cables total. This 5-pack configuration is ideal for small to medium network setups, patch panel connections, or keeping spare cables on hand. The 3-foot length is perfect for short-distance connections in server racks, between network equipment, or for desktop computer connections where longer cables would create unnecessary clutter.
