Seven-foot Cat6 cable for home and office networks

The Monoprice 102301 is a 2.1336 m gray patch cord built with 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors and 550MHz bandwidth. It suits anyone wiring a router, switch or desktop PC where a short, reliable Cat6 link is needed. Buyers who want more storage or builders who need a second card will not use this cable.

Gold-plated contacts and snagless boots change

Each RJ45 plug carries 50m gold plating, five times the thickness found on many budget cords, reducing oxidation over repeated insertions. The color-matched, snagless strain-relief boots protect the latch from catching on neighbouring cables during moves. The UTP construction meets UL Code 444 and TIA-568-C fire and safety standards that require pure bare copper wire.

Push-to-click installation with one common snag

The RJ45 ends click into any standard port without tools, and the flexible stranded wire routes easily around corners. The only frequent issue is the snagless boot hanging up on a recessed jack; a gentle side-angle push seats it fully. No driver, firmware or configuration is required for the link to negotiate at Cat6 speeds.

Questions about this item

Will the 50-micron gold plating on the RJ45 contacts wear off and need replacement?

The 50-micron gold plating on the contacts is thicker than the 10-micron layer found on budget cables, so it resists corrosion and wear for the life of the cable.

What is the maximum bandwidth the 2.1336 m Cat6 cable can sustain continuously?

The cable is rated for 550 MHz bandwidth, which is the limit that governs sustained data throughput on this 7-foot run.

Does the 24 AWG stranded pure bare copper construction run hot or draw extra power on a 24/7 link?

Passive copper cables draw no power and generate no heat; the 24 AWG stranded conductors simply carry the signal without thermal load.
