Short blue Cat6A shielded Ethernet cable with non-booted RJ45 connectors

Monoprice Inc.

Monoprice 145398 Cat6A STP Network Ethernet Cable 2ft Blue 26AWG Non-Booted 500MHz

SKU CH-SHET-3HAX4

Shielded Cat6A cable with 26 AWG bare copper conductors, 500 MHz bandwidth and non-booted plugs for dense patch panels

  • Product typeNetworking Patch Cables
  • Key featuresShielded Twisted Pair (STP) Category 6A Ethernet cable
  • Shielded twisted-pair construction reduces crosstalk in dense racks
  • 26 AWG bare-copper conductors support 10 Gbps throughput
  • 500 MHz bandwidth handles high-frequency signals
  • Gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion for reliable links
  • Non-booted design saves space in high-density patch panels

2-foot Cat6A STP patch cable

This 2-foot Category 6A shielded twisted pair cable uses 26AWG stranded bare copper conductors and 50µm gold-plated RJ45 connectors. The non-booted design reduces bulk for high-density patch panels and server racks. It is built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links up to 500 MHz bandwidth.

500 MHz bandwidth for 10G runs

The 500 MHz rating supports 10 Gbps Ethernet over the full 2-foot length with headroom for alien crosstalk margin. Shielding protects signal integrity in crowded cable trays. Runs longer than the specified length will require separate cable segments and may exceed the channel budget.

Low-profile build for tight spaces

The non-booted plugs sit flush against panel ports, improving airflow and easing cable management in dense racks. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation for stable long-term contact resistance. Stranded conductors tolerate repeated routing changes without work hardening.

Questions about this item

Will the 26AWG conductors and 500MHz bandwidth work with my existing Cat5e patch panel?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure; the 26AWG stranded bare copper conductors and 500MHz rating will negotiate at the panel's maximum supported speed.

How can I verify the 10G performance after installing the 2ft blue cable?

Run a cable certifier or switch port statistics at 10Gbps; error-free throughput and link lights confirming 10G indicate the 50µm gold-plated contacts and STP shielding are functioning correctly.

Does the non-booted RJ45 connector ship with any strain-relief boots or cable ties?

The cable arrives as a single 2ft non-booted assembly with 50µm gold-plated RJ45 plugs; no boots, ties or additional accessories are included in the package.
