Monoprice 144643 Cat6A 2ft Blue Network Ethernet Cable

2 ft Cat6A patch cable for dense racks

The Monoprice 144643 is a two-foot Cat6A UTP patch cable built with 24 AWG pure bare copper conductors. It carries a CMR riser rating for in-wall runs and terminates in snagless RJ45 plugs with 50 µ gold contacts. The micro SlimRun boot reduces congestion in high-density patch panels and server rooms.

Upgrade from standard Cat6 or Cat5e links

This cable is tested to 500 MHz and passes the DSX-8000 Fluke patch test at component level per TIA 568.2-D and ISO 11801. It supports the IEEE 802 standard for 10 Gb Ethernet over UTP, so the jump is worth it when existing cabling cannot guarantee 10 GbE throughput or when tighter bend radius is needed in shallow cabinets.

Suits installers wiring 10 GbE in tight spaces

Network engineers fitting short runs between switches, servers and patch panels in data centres will benefit from the ultra-short boot and verified component-level margins. Buyers who need longer horizontal runs, outdoor burial rating or shielded construction for noisy industrial environments should look at something else.
