Monoprice 114289 Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable 0.9144 m Green 550 MHz UTP Stranded 24AWG Zeroboot

Ready-to-use Cat6 patch cable

The Monoprice 114289 is a factory-terminated Cat6 UTP patch cable built with 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors. It arrives in a 0.9144 m green length with RJ45 plugs on both ends, so installers can connect switches, routers or patch panels without crimping tools. The stranded construction keeps the cable flexible for routing through cable managers and tight rack spaces.

550 MHz bandwidth ceiling

The cable is rated for 550 MHz bandwidth, which sets the practical frequency limit for the link. Category 6 cabling supports 1 Gbps Ethernet up to 100 m and 10 Gbps Ethernet up to 55 m, so the usable speed depends on the total channel length and the connected equipment. The unshielded design means the cable is more susceptible to external noise than shielded alternatives in electrically noisy environments.

Zeroboot plugs for dense patches

The Zeroboot series omits the protective clip covers found on standard boots, letting the RJ45 tabs release instantly in crowded patch panels. Gold-plated contacts at 50 µm thickness resist oxidation over repeated insertions. The jacket meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 fire and safety requirements for communications wiring. Builders who need shielded cable or booted plugs for latch protection should look elsewhere.
