Flat Cat6 cable for tight runs

This Monoprice 140888 patch cable is a 25-foot flat Category 6 UTP lead built with pure bare copper conductors. The low-profile design resists tangling and slides under carpets or through door gaps where round cables snag. It is terminated with snagless RJ45 plugs protected by thin Flexboots that make the release clip easy to depress. Bandwidth is tested to 550 MHz.

Suits home and office drops needing a thin profile

Installers who want a discreet, flexible run for Gigabit Ethernet will find the flat geometry convenient. Builders who require shielded cable for noisy environments, plenum-rated jacket for air-handling spaces, or a gauge rated for high-wattage Power over Ethernet should look elsewhere. The unshielded twisted-pair construction also limits noise rejection in industrial settings.

30AWG stranded conductors set the current limit

The cable uses 30AWG stranded pure bare copper wires, which are thinner than the 24AWG conductors referenced in the 12-pack specifications. This gauge determines the maximum safe current for any Power over Ethernet application and the voltage drop over the 25-foot length. Verify that your PoE devices and switch ports operate within the 30AWG rating before deploying.

Questions about this item

Does the 550 MHz Cat6 cable run hot or draw noticeable power when left connected all day?

Ethernet patch cables carry only signal current, so the 550 MHz Cat6 flat cable produces no measurable heat and draws no perceptible power during continuous use.

What devices must I already have to use the 25 ft flat Cat6 cable with its snagless RJ45 plugs?

You need two pieces of equipment with standard RJ45 ports — such as a router, switch, PC, NAS, or patch panel — to plug each end of the 25 ft cable into.

Will the 30 AWG flat Cat6 cable work reliably with my older 100 Mbps switch and Cat5e wall jacks?

Yes, the Cat6 cable is fully backward compatible and will negotiate 100 Mbps on legacy 10/100 ports while still fitting standard Cat5e keystone jacks.
