Cable Leader 14ft Cat6 Non-Booted Network Ethernet Cable Gray 24AWG 550MHz

Cable Leader 14ft Cat6 Non-Booted Patch Cable

This 14ft gray Cat6 cable uses 24AWG bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts to deliver a reliable Gigabit Ethernet link. The non-booted plug design seats cleanly in high-density patch panels and keystone jacks where space is tight. It is tested to 550MHz, well above the 250MHz Cat6 minimum, and supports 10G speeds over short runs. RoHS compliant with UL, cUL and ETL listings.

Drop-in upgrade from Cat5e in dense installs

Replacing Cat5e with this cable raises the tested bandwidth from 100MHz to 550MHz while keeping the same RJ45 footprint, making the jump worthwhile when you need headroom for 10G short runs or cleaner signal integrity in crowded racks. The non-booted plugs remove the bulk that blocks adjacent ports on fully populated patch panels, so the upgrade also solves a physical access problem. It is not for buyers who need shielded cable for noisy industrial environments or runs longer than the Cat6 10G distance limit.

Fits tight panels and frees adjacent ports

The slim, bootless connectors sit flush in patch panels, keystone jacks and switch ports, improving airflow and leaving room for neighboring cables in 45-degree or straight patching layouts. Four twisted pairs of bare copper terminate to standard 8P8C plugs compatible with routers, switches, PCs and PoE devices. No special tooling is required beyond a standard crimper if you re-terminate, and the cable works with existing Cat5e infrastructure for a straight swap.
