Short patch cable for dense racks

This two-foot Cat6 UTP cable uses 24 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors rated for 550 MHz bandwidth. The Zeroboot design omits protective clip covers so connectors seat and release quickly in tight patch panels. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist corrosion and maintain low-resistance connections over repeated mating cycles. It arrives new with a Monoprice lifetime warranty.

Ideal for technicians wiring crowded cabinets

Installers who value speed in high-density racks will appreciate the snag-free boots and flexible stranded construction. Buyers who need shielded cable for noisy environments or longer runs between rooms should look at something else. The short length limits this cable to intra-rack or adjacent-device links.

24 AWG stranded copper at 550 MHz

The conductor gauge and bandwidth rating determine whether the cable meets your Cat6 performance target. Stranded 24 AWG copper delivers the flexibility needed for frequent re-patching while supporting gigabit speeds over the rated frequency. Verify that your switch ports and patch panels accept unshielded RJ45 plugs before ordering.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Cat6 cable is delivering the rated 550MHz bandwidth after installation?

Connect the cable between two gigabit or multi-gigabit ports and run a cable certifier or throughput test; the 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors and gold-plated contacts are built to support the specified 550MHz performance.

What comes with the 2 ft blue Cat6 patch cable and what must I purchase separately?

The package includes one 0.6096 m blue UTP patch cable with RJ45 connectors and Zeroboot design; no additional connectors, boots or tools are included, so buy wall plates, keystones or a crimper separately if your install needs them.

Which version of the Monoprice Cat6 cable should I choose for a short rack-to-rack link?

Model 13242 (MPN 113242) is a 2 ft blue stranded UTP cable rated for 550MHz; select this length and colour for short patch runs, or choose a different length and colour from the same series for longer or colour-coded links.
