Black Cat6A shielded Ethernet cable twenty feet long non-booted RJ45 connectors

Monoprice Inc.

Monoprice 145432 Cat6A STP network ethernet cable 20 ft 26AWG 500MHz non-booted black

SKU CH-T693-YTCRE

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

  • Product typeNetworking Patch Cables
  • Key featuresShielded Twisted Pair (STP) Category 6A Ethernet cable
  • Shielded twisted-pair construction reduces electromagnetic interference
  • 26 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors ensure reliable signal transmission
  • 500 MHz bandwidth supports 10 Gbps network speeds
  • Non-booted RJ45 connectors save space in high-density installations
  • 50 µm gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for lasting connectivity

Monoprice 145432 Cat6A STP 20 ft

This shielded Cat6A patch cable uses 26AWG stranded bare copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 contacts. It is rated for 500 MHz bandwidth and supports 10G Ethernet speeds. The non-booted design reduces the connector footprint for tight spaces.

High-density racks and patch panels

Installers working in crowded cabinets or high-density patch panels benefit from the non-booted plugs that fit side-by-side without interference. The STP shielding protects signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Buyers who need a booted strain-relief sleeve for frequent unplugging should look at something else.

500 MHz bandwidth rating

The 500 MHz specification determines whether the cable meets the Cat6A performance class required for 10GBASE-T over the full 20 ft length. If the installation calls for a higher frequency class such as Cat8, this cable will not satisfy that requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the 500 MHz bandwidth handle sustained 10 Gbps traffic?

The cable is rated for 500 MHz bandwidth and supports 10 Gbps Ethernet, so sustained 10 Gbps traffic stays within its certified frequency range.

Does the 26 AWG stranded construction run hotter or draw more power than solid-core cables?

The cable is passive with no power draw; 26 AWG stranded bare copper conductors add negligible resistance over 20 ft, so heat and power are not concerns.

Do I need shielded keystone jacks or a grounded patch panel for the STP shielding to work?

The STP foil shield terminates at the gold-plated RJ45 plugs; grounding requires shielded jacks or a grounded patch panel at both ends.
