Cable Design

The Monoprice 113402 is a Cat6 Ethernet patch cable built for IT professionals and data center technicians who need reliable wired connections. Its stranded 24AWG pure bare copper conductors meet UL Code 444 and TIA-568-C.2 fire safety requirements. The two foot length suits short runs between patch panels, switches, and servers.

Sustained Signal Quality

Rated at 550MHz bandwidth, the cable maintains consistent throughput under continuous network traffic rather than brief bursts. Gold plated contacts on the RJ45 plugs resist corrosion that can degrade performance over time. Pure bare copper construction avoids the signal loss associated with copper clad aluminum alternatives during extended use.

Zeroboot Build

The Zeroboot design omits protective clip covers so connectors insert and release quickly in dense rack environments. Fifty micron gold plating on the contacts supports repeated mating cycles without signal degradation. Black jacket color provides simple visual identification among other cables in crowded network cabinets.

Questions about this item

Does the 24AWG stranded copper cable generate noticeable heat when carrying full 550MHz bandwidth all day?

The 24AWG pure bare copper conductors run cool under continuous gigabit traffic; no active cooling is needed and heat output is negligible in normal indoor use.

What must I already own for the RJ45 connectors on this 2ft patch cable to work?

You need devices with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports — such as a router, switch, PC or NAS — because the cable terminates in unshielded 8P8C plugs on both ends.

Will the 50µm gold-plated contacts on this Cat6 cable mate reliably with older Cat5e wall jacks I keep in the rack?

Yes, the RJ45 plugs are fully backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 jacks; the gold plating resists oxidation and maintains low contact resistance across generations.
