High-density Cat6A patch cable

This Monoprice 145426 cable is a shielded twisted pair Category 6A Ethernet patch cord built for high-density networking environments. It uses 26AWG stranded bare copper conductors and 50µm gold-plated RJ45 connectors to support 10G speeds over short runs. The non-booted design reduces the connector footprint for tighter patch-panel spacing.

Check connector clearance and shield grounding

Verify that your patch panel or switch ports have enough rear clearance for the non-booted RJ45 plugs, which lack the protective hood found on booted cables. Confirm that your rack or cabinet grounding scheme accommodates the STP shield drain wire so the shielding remains effective. Ensure the 3-foot length reaches between your specific devices without tension.

Low heat and silent passive operation

As a passive copper cable it draws no power and generates no measurable heat during normal 10G data transfer. There are no fans or moving parts, so operation is completely silent in server rooms or office racks. The 500MHz bandwidth rating supports full Category 6A performance without thermal throttling or signal degradation over the 3-foot distance.

Questions about this item

Does the Monoprice 145426 cable come with any connectors pre-attached or do I need to buy RJ45 plugs separately?

The cable ships with gold-plated RJ45 connectors already crimped on both ends so no separate plugs are required.

The listing shows only a 3-foot length; is that the only version available under model 145426?

Model 145426 is offered in a single 3-foot length; other lengths would carry different model numbers.

What real-world speed can I expect from the 500 MHz rating on a 10 GbE link?

The 500 MHz bandwidth supports full 10 Gbps throughput over the 3-foot run when paired with compliant 10 GbE hardware.
