Cat6A 550 MHz patch cable

This 2.1336 m Cat6A patch cable uses 26 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors and shielded twisted-pair construction. It terminates in RJ45 connectors with snagless boots that protect the retaining clip during insertion and removal. The purple jacket provides quick visual identification in dense patch panels. It is built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links up to 100 m.

Shielded construction for sustained throughput

The STP design reduces alien crosstalk so the link maintains 500 MHz bandwidth under continuous 10 Gbit/s traffic rather than degrading after a short burst. Pure bare copper meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 fire and safety requirements for permanent installation. The stranded conductors tolerate repeated flexing in rack-to-device runs without work-hardening.

Low-profile boot eases cable management

Snagless boots prevent the latch from catching on adjacent cables, simplifying moves and reducing strain on the plug. The 26 AWG stranded wire keeps the cable flexible for routing through tight cable managers while the shield drain wire grounds the foil at each end. Lifetime warranty from Monoprice covers the cable for the duration of ownership.

Questions about this item

Does the 26AWG stranded pure bare copper cable generate noticeable heat when carrying 10 Gbps traffic all day?

The 26 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors meet UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 requirements, so normal 10 Gbps operation produces no perceptible heat.

What devices must already have RJ45 ports to use this Cat6A patch cable?

Any router, switch, server or PC with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports can connect directly using this cable.

Will the 500 MHz bandwidth and snagless boots work reliably with older Cat5e or Cat6 patch panels?

The cable is fully backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 infrastructure while supporting 550 MHz performance.
