Cable Leader 50ft Cat6 Non-Booted Ethernet Cable Blue 24AWG 550MHz

50ft Cat6 Non-Booted Patch Cable

This 50-foot Cat6 Ethernet cable uses 24AWG bare copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 plugs to deliver a reliable Gigabit wired link. The non-booted connector profile seats cleanly in dense patch panels and keystone jacks, making it a practical choice for data centres, server rooms and structured cabling installs. Backward compatibility with Cat5e lets it drop into existing runs without re-termination.

Cat6 bandwidth ceiling and 10G distance limit

The cable is tested to 550MHz, well above the 250MHz Cat6 baseline, and supports Gigabit Ethernet across the full 50ft length. Ten-gigabit operation is only guaranteed over short runs; the 50ft span exceeds the distance where 10G can be sustained on Cat6. Shielding is not present, so the cable relies on twisted-pair balance for noise rejection in typical indoor environments.

Check connector clearance and PoE budget

Verify that your patch panel or keystone jack accepts non-booted 8P8C plugs without a retention tab cover, as some high-density housings expect a booted profile. Confirm the 24AWG conductor gauge matches the power budget of any PoE devices on the run, since voltage drop increases with length and thinner wire. Ensure both ends terminate to Cat6-rated hardware to realise the 550MHz tested performance.
