Cable Leader 7ft Cat6 Non-Booted Ethernet Cable Black 24AWG 550MHz

7 ft Cat6 patch cable for dense installs

This 7 ft Cat6 patch cable uses 24 AWG bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The non-booted plug design seats cleanly in high-density patch panels and keystone jacks, improving airflow and simplifying cable management. It is tested to 550 MHz, well above the 250 MHz Cat6 minimum, and supports Gigabit Ethernet with 10 G capability over short runs.

Upgrade from Cat5e when density matters

The cable replaces Cat5e links that run at 100 MHz, delivering 550 MHz headroom and full backward compatibility for a drop-in upgrade. The jump is worth it when you need reliable Gigabit or short-run 10 G performance in tightly packed racks where booted connectors cannot fit or restrict airflow. RoHS compliance and UL, cUL and ETL listings cover data-center and structured-cabling requirements.

Suits racks, patch panels and PoE devices

Network builders working in server rooms, data centers or dense office cabinets will benefit from the slim, non-booted profile and 24 AWG bare copper construction. Installers who require shielded cables, longer lengths than 7 ft, or boot-protected connectors for frequent re-patching should look elsewhere. The C6102 family offers other lengths and colors if this specific combination does not match the run.
