Cable Leader Cat6 Non-Booted Ethernet Cable 100ft Yellow 24AWG 550MHz

100ft Cat6 non-booted patch cable

This 100-foot Category 6 patch cable is built for installers and network managers who need reliable Gigabit links in dense racks. The non-booted RJ45 plugs seat cleanly in high-density patch panels and keystone jacks where booted connectors would bind. Yellow jacketing makes the run easy to trace in structured cabling environments. It is a straightforward drop-in upgrade from Cat5e infrastructure.

550MHz tested headroom for Gigabit and short 10G

The cable is tested to 550MHz, well above the 250MHz Cat6 minimum, giving comfortable headroom for 1 Gigabit Ethernet throughout the full 100-foot length. Ten Gigabit Ethernet is supported over shorter runs where the channel budget allows. Four twisted pairs of 24AWG bare copper carry the signal with 50-micron gold-plated contacts resisting corrosion. Backward compatibility with Cat5e lets you reuse existing pathways.

Non-booted plug for high-density panels

The defining spec is the non-booted connector design, which removes the molded strain-relief boot so the plug fits side-by-side in crowded patch panels and improves airflow. Without this feature the cable cannot be used in the tight keystone layouts it targets. Buyers who need a booted connector for latch protection in open patching should choose a different cable.
