Cable Leader 3ft Cat6 Non-Booted Ethernet Cable Black 24AWG 550MHz

High-Density Patch Cable

The Cable Leader 3ft Cat6 Non-Booted Ethernet Cable is a black UTP patch cord built for tight, high-density installations. Its non-booted RJ45 plugs seat cleanly in crowded patch panels and keystone jacks, improving airflow and simplifying cable management. Four twisted pairs of 24AWG bare copper terminate in 50-micron gold-plated contacts for reliable, corrosion-resistant connections. The cable is tested to 550MHz, well above the 250MHz Cat6 baseline, and carries UL, cUL and ETL listings.

Upgrade From Cat5e

This cable replaces older Cat5e runs with a drop-in upgrade that supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10G over short distances. The higher 550MHz tested bandwidth provides extra headroom for structured cabling in data centers and server rooms. Backward compatibility means it works alongside existing Cat5e infrastructure without re-termination. The non-booted design solves the clearance problems that booted plugs create in dense patch fields.

Ideal For Dense Racks

Network engineers and installers working in packed racks, patch panels or keystone walls will benefit from the slim, bootless connectors. Buyers who need shielded cable for noisy environments or outdoor-rated jackets should look elsewhere. The 3ft length suits short intra-rack links; longer runs require a different length from the same family. PoE devices, routers, switches and PCs are all supported within the Cat6 specification.
