Review on Superior Performance at Incredible Speeds: Monoprice SlimRun Cat6A Ethernet Patch Cable by Robert Blanton

Firstly, it is very difficult to highlight the differences between the cables in the photos on the web. But they're really thin, about the size of a typical 28AWG USB cable, which makes sense. A standard CAT6 cable or even a CAT5e cable looks ridiculously large next to it. More importantly, it's also ridiculously easier to manage, very easy to route even in hard-to-reach places, and easy to coil/tie up loose cable. The connections are really solid and tight and I really don't feel like there will ever be a problem. I haven't seen any network performance issues. Also, the plug attaches very well to the cord so there are no interfering moving parts, and it fits snugly into every outlet I've tried. You can tell that Monoprice really cared about this design and took apart all the little details for cable routing. I can't think of a single case where they wouldn't be a much better option over standard cables of the same length, unless the 24AWG cable is needed for a use other than a simple network connection like PoE.
