100 ft Cat6 Non-Booted Patch Cable

This orange Cat6 cable uses 24 AWG bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts. It is tested to 550 MHz and supports Gigabit Ethernet with 10G capability over short runs. The non-booted plug design fits high-density patch panels and keystone jacks while improving airflow.

Drop-in upgrade from Cat5e

Replaces Cat5e links that run at 100 MHz with a Cat6 link tested at 550 MHz. The higher tested bandwidth provides headroom for Gigabit and short-run 10G traffic. The jump is worth it when installs demand denser connector spacing or better crosstalk margins than Cat5e allows.

Handles dense patch panels and PoE

Comfortably serves structured cabling in data centers, server rooms and offices with routers, switches and PoE devices. The 100 ft length stays within the Cat6 channel limit for Gigabit. Runs out when a single link must exceed 100 ft or when shielded cable is required for noisy environments.

Questions about this item

Will the non-booted RJ45 plugs seat easily in a tightly packed patch panel or keystone jack?

Yes, the non-booted design omits the molded boot so the 8P8C plug fits side-by-side in high-density patch panels and keystone jacks, improving airflow and cable management.

What is the correct orientation when pressing the RJ45 plug into a keystone jack or switch port?

Align the tab on the 8P8C plug with the slot on the jack, push straight in until it clicks, and avoid angling the cable which can bend the 24AWG conductors.

What should be inspected periodically to keep the link reliable?

Check the 50-micron gold-plated contacts for corrosion or debris, verify the orange jacket has no kinks or cuts, and re-seat the RJ45 plugs if intermittent errors appear.
