Black Cat6A shielded ethernet cable, 14 ft, non-booted RJ45 plugs

Monoprice Inc.

Monoprice 145430 Cat6A STP network ethernet cable 14 ft 26AWG 500MHz non-booted black

SKU CH-7X1B-H5QG0

A shielded Cat6A patch cable with 500 MHz bandwidth and gold-plated RJ45 connectors for 10 Gbps networks

  • Product typeNetworking Patch Cables
  • Key featuresShielded Twisted Pair (STP) Category 6A Ethernet cable
  • Shielded twisted-pair design reduces crosstalk in dense installs
  • 26 AWG stranded bare copper conductors support 10 Gbps speeds
  • 500 MHz bandwidth handles high-frequency signals reliably
  • Gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion for lasting signal quality
  • Non-booted plug saves space in crowded patch panels

Compact shielded Cat6A cable

The Monoprice 145430 is a 14 foot Category 6A patch cable built with shielded twisted pair construction and 26AWG bare copper conductors. It is rated for 500MHz bandwidth and terminated with gold plated RJ45 connectors. The non-booted design reduces the connector footprint for tight spaces.

Suited for dense patch panels and short runs

This cable fits high-density racks, server rooms and network cabinets where standard boots block adjacent ports. The 14 foot length serves typical rack-to-rack or switch-to-panel links. It is not intended for installers who need a protective boot for frequent unplugging or for runs that exceed the length supplied.

10G headroom over 14 feet

The 500MHz specification supports 10GBASE-T across the full 14 foot span with margin for alien crosstalk. Shielding and bare copper conductors preserve signal quality on short links. The cable runs out of reach for longer horizontal runs or permanent installations that require solid conductor cable and greater length.

Questions about this item

What devices need an RJ45 port to use this 14 ft Cat6A cable?

Any router, switch, server or workstation with a standard RJ45 jack will accept the gold-plated connectors on this 14-foot shielded patch lead.

Will the 26AWG stranded conductors and STP shielding work with my existing Cat5e patch panel?

Yes, the Category 6A cable is backward compatible, so it will run at Cat5e speeds through your current panel while the foil shield still resists alien crosstalk.

How can I confirm the link is running at the rated 500 MHz bandwidth after installation?

Check the link speed on the switch or NIC; a negotiated 10 Gbps connection indicates the 500 MHz channel is operating correctly.
