Cable Leader Cat6 Non-Booted Ethernet Cable 10ft Red 24AWG 550MHz

10ft Cat6 Non-Booted Patch Cable

This 10-foot Cat6 Ethernet cable uses 24AWG bare copper conductors in four twisted pairs to deliver a reliable Gigabit wired connection. The non-booted RJ45 plugs feature 50-micron gold-plated contacts and are tested to 550MHz, exceeding the 250MHz Cat6 minimum. It is fully backward compatible with Cat5e for a drop-in upgrade. The red jacket aids quick visual identification in structured cabling.

Installers in dense patch panels and keystone jacks

The non-booted design seats easily in tightly packed patch panels and keystone jacks, improving airflow and keeping high-density runs tidy. It works with routers, switches, PCs and PoE devices across data centers, server rooms and offices. Installers who need the strain relief and latch protection of a molded boot should look at a booted alternative. Buyers requiring shielded cable for noisy environments will need a different construction.

Sustained Gigabit throughput in structured runs

Under continuous load the bare copper conductors maintain stable Gigabit Ethernet performance and support 10G over short runs without the signal degradation seen in copper-clad alternatives. The 550MHz tested bandwidth provides headroom above the Cat6 standard for consistent throughput in permanent installations. The gold-plated contacts resist corrosion during long-term deployment. Performance in runs beyond the short-range 10G distance reverts to standard Gigabit speeds.
