Monoprice SlimRun Cat6A Ethernet Patch Cable - Network Internet Cord - RJ45, Stranded, UTP, Pure Bare Copper Wire, 30AWG, 2ft, Blue, 10-Pack

I thought it'd be nice to use these for mostly temporary patch cable purposes and for short connections directly between devices. So far the cables I've tried have worked well, and they are very nice cables. I'm impressed by how small they are compared to the cables I usually purchase for this purpose (24GA cables from here). I'll probably start buying these as my default for patch cables.

I bought these cables more for the slim aspect than the cat6a, though the latter is also great. The big win for me is a bundle of 12-24 slim cables takes up much less physical space than typical cables. This makes a big difference in an in-wall media enclosure or similar, where space is at a premium. Bundles of slim cables are also easier to dress, they're more flexible simply because the bundled trunk isn't as thick, meaning you can route it around easier, and without filling cable management channels, blocking air flow, etc. I also like these snagless hoods, but IME that really comes down to personal preference.
