Flat Cat6 patch cable for tight installs

Monoprice 140883 is a 5 ft flat Category 6 UTP cable built with 30AWG pure bare copper conductors. The thin jacket resists tangling and routes easily through raceways in high-density racks or behind furniture. Snagless RJ45 plugs with flexible boots make frequent reconnections faster in cramped spaces.

Suited for short patch runs where flexibility

Ideal for installers and home users who need a low-profile cable that stays flat under carpets or inside narrow trunking. Not for buyers who require shielded construction, longer reach, or solid-core cable rated for in-wall horizontal runs.

Tested to 550 MHz bandwidth

The stranded UTP design passes 550 MHz performance testing and meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C requirements for patch cords. The 100 percent pure bare copper conductors avoid copper-clad aluminium, ensuring reliable signal quality at the rated frequency.

Questions about this item

What type of Ethernet port does my device need to use this Cat6 flat cable?

Any standard RJ45 Ethernet port will accept the snagless plug on this 5 ft cable.

Will the 30 AWG flat conductors work reliably with older Cat5e switches and routers?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 equipment while still tested to 550 MHz bandwidth.

How can I verify the cable is delivering its rated 550 MHz performance after installation?

Run a cable certifier or use the link-speed indicator on your switch to confirm Gigabit or higher negotiation.
