Superior Performance at Incredible Speeds: Monoprice SlimRun Cat6A Ethernet Patch Cable Review

These cables work like Ethernet cables but are not Cat6a as advertised. True Cat6a cables use 16-20 AWG wiring. These cables use 30 AWG wire. They also don't have a plastic spacer to separate pairs. I'm not sure if it has the 2 turns per cm that Cat6a should have. But part of the plastic cap on Cat6 cable is to ensure that the maximum bend radius is not exceeded. Real Cat6a has foil shielding around each pair. Cat6a is also about 1/4" in diameter. This cable is about 1/8" in diameter. It's not…

These cables are more than capable of 10G Cat6A speeds. Other reviewers test consumer hardware, expect accurate results, and use outdated specifications. Attached are iPerf3 results for the following topology. work on production servers. There were 27 other VMs running on the Dell client-server, which slowed performance a bit, preventing us from getting true 10G in our test, but as you can see the numbers are a lot higher than other reviewers are claiming and I have no doubt in a lab setting it

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…

There are two ways to measure cable length. You can measure from the end of the plug on one end to the end of the plug on the other end, or from the point where the cord and plug meet to the same point on the other end. With a 3 or 5 foot cable it doesn't matter much, but if you switch to a 6 inch or 1 foot cable it can be more than half the cable. A typical example: With the 6-inch variant, the cable consists of a 3-inch cable between two 1.5-inch connectors. They are shorter than expected but

"official" CAT6a cable, these three things must be true that these cables don't have: 1. It must be between 16-20G wire.2. There must be additional shielding to reduce crosstalk.3. The 10 Gb/s speed should be maintained up to a height of 100 meters. So, by their own admission, these cables are misrepresented and advertised (using 30G cable). However, I get full 1G speed via 10ft patch cords (the longest I've bought). See the images below for details. I haven't tried 10G but will update this…
