SKU CH-FC70-9036X

Shielded Cat6A patch cable with 26AWG bare copper conductors, 500MHz bandwidth and gold-plated RJ45 connectors for 10G speeds

  • Product typeNetworking Patch Cables
  • Key featuresShielded Twisted Pair (STP) Category 6A Ethernet cable
  • Shielded twisted-pair construction reduces interference in dense setups
  • 26 AWG stranded bare copper conductors carry 10 Gbps signals
  • 500 MHz bandwidth supports high-speed data transfer
  • Non-booted RJ45 plugs fit tight high-density panels
  • Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for lasting signal quality

Compact patch cable for dense racks

The Monoprice 145428 is a 7-foot Cat6A shielded twisted-pair cable built for high-density networking. Its non-booted RJ45 plugs reduce bulk so installers can pack more connections into patch panels and switches. Bare copper conductors and 50µm gold-plated contacts preserve signal integrity in business and enthusiast setups.

Bandwidth headroom for 10G runs

Rated at 500MHz, the cable supports 10GBASE-T over its full length without signal degradation. The 26AWG stranded construction keeps the run flexible for tight cable management while maintaining Category 6A performance. Shielding protects against alien crosstalk in crowded bundles where unshielded cables would run out of margin.

Passive thermal profile and low insertion loss

With no active components the cable adds no heat or noise to the rack. Gold plating minimises contact resistance so power draw at the port stays at standard Ethernet levels. The slim, non-booted profile improves airflow around dense port blocks compared with bulkier booted alternatives.

Questions about this item

Will this Cat6A cable work with my existing Cat5e patch panel and gigabit switch?

Yes, the Category 6A specification is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 equipment, so it will link at the highest speed both ends support.

How can I verify the 500MHz bandwidth and 10G capability after installation?

Use a cable certifier or a 10G-capable tester to confirm the link negotiates 10Gbps and passes the 500MHz channel test.

Does the 7-foot cable include the RJ45 connectors, or must I buy plugs separately?

The cable arrives with gold-plated RJ45 connectors already terminated on both ends; no additional parts are required.
