Cat6A Extension with PCB-Mounted Female Jack

The Monoprice 147096 Cat6A extension cable adds reach to an existing Ethernet link using a male-to-female RJ45 design. It is built for home offices and IT setups that need to protect primary ports from repeated plugging cycles. Stranded bare copper conductors keep the connection flexible for routing in tight spaces. The integrated PCB-mounted female jack uses three gold-plated contacts for secure mating.

Unshielded U/UTP Construction for Low-Interference

The cable uses a CM-rated PVC jacket over unshielded twisted pairs rated to 500MHz bandwidth. This construction suits environments with minimal electromagnetic interference where shielding is not required. The 24AWG stranded conductors maintain signal integrity for demanding data applications. No external power or active circuitry is involved in the extension.

Sustained 10Gbps Throughput Over the Full Length

The Cat6A rating supports speeds up to 10Gbps across the entire extension without the short-burst limitations of lower categories. Signal quality remains stable during prolonged transfers such as large file moves or continuous streaming. The gold-plated contacts resist oxidation that can degrade performance over time. This makes the cable reliable for permanent installations rather than temporary patches.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the male-to-female RJ45 extension without damaging the PCB-mounted jack?

Plug the male RJ45 into your device or wall port first, then insert the patch cable into the female jack straight on to avoid bending the three gold-plated contacts.

Will the 24AWG stranded bare copper conductors need replacement after repeated flexing?

Stranded 24AWG copper tolerates normal routing and repositioning; replace the cable only if the jacket shows cuts or the connectors become loose.

At what point does the 500MHz bandwidth limit appear during sustained 10Gbps transfers?

The 500MHz rating defines the channel capacity; sustained 10Gbps traffic stays within that limit as long as the total link length meets Cat6A standards.
