Monoprice Cat6 3 ft UTP cable

This Monoprice Inc. Cat6 Ethernet patch cable measures 0.9144 metres and uses 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors rated for 550 MHz bandwidth. The UTP construction terminates in RJ45 plugs with 50-micron gold-plated contacts and no protective clip covers. It is sold new under model 13248 with a lifetime warranty from the brand.

Zeroboot design for rack installs

The Zeroboot series omits the retaining-clip covers so technicians can seat and release connectors quickly in dense patch panels or switch ports. That makes the cable suited to data-centre and IT professionals who value speed of installation over clip protection. Installers who prefer strain-relief boots or who need shielded cable for noisy environments should look at a different style.

550 MHz bandwidth rating

The single specification that determines suitability is the 550 MHz bandwidth rating on the 24AWG stranded copper conductors. This figure defines the cable's category performance ceiling and must match the network speed and distance requirements of the installation.

Questions about this item

Does the 24AWG stranded copper construction affect heat or power loss over a full day of use?

The 24AWG pure bare copper conductors keep resistance low, so the cable adds negligible heat or power loss during continuous operation.

What devices must I already have to use the RJ45 connectors on this Cat6 patch cable?

You need equipment with standard RJ45 ports such as a router, switch, PC or NAS that accepts an 8P8C plug.

Will the 550MHz bandwidth work with my older Cat5e switch and gigabit NIC?

Yes, the Cat6 cable is backward compatible and will run at the highest speed both older devices support.
