Monoprice Cat6 Flexboot 1.524 m

The Monoprice 109868 is a Category 6 patch cable built with 24 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors. It is intended for network installers and home users who need reliable Gigabit Ethernet links between switches, routers, patch panels and end devices. The yellow jacket provides quick visual identification in dense cable runs.

550 MHz bandwidth rating

This cable is tested to 550 MHz, which is the single figure that confirms it will carry 1 Gigabit Ethernet traffic with headroom for crosstalk and attenuation margins. The unshielded twisted-pair construction uses 100 percent bare copper rather than copper-clad aluminium, meeting UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 fire and safety requirements. Gold-plated contacts at 50 µm resist corrosion over long-term use.

Flexboot snagless RJ45 connectors

The thin Flexboot moulding covers the retaining clip, making it easier to depress when inserting or removing the plug in crowded 12, 24, 48 or 96-port panels. This design frees adjacent ports from the leverage strain caused by bulkier boots. The cable is not shielded, so it should not be used where electromagnetic interference requires screened or foil-shielded categories.

Questions about this item

What does the 550 MHz bandwidth rating mean for my network speed?

The cable is tested up to 550 MHz, which supports Gigabit Ethernet performance at the rated 24 AWG gauge.

How does the RJ45 connector work with standard network ports?

The 50 µm gold-plated RJ45 plugs fit standard Ethernet ports and resist corrosion for reliable contact.

Will the Flexboot design fit tightly spaced patch panel ports?

The thinner Flexboot protects the retaining clip while being easier to depress, helping it work in dense 12, 24, 48 or 96-port panels.
