Compact Cat6A cable for dense racks

This Monoprice 145425 Cat6A STP patch cable uses 26AWG stranded bare copper conductors and 50µm gold-plated RJ45 contacts to deliver 500MHz bandwidth and 10G performance. The non-booted plugs reduce depth at each port, making it practical for high-density patch panels and switch fronts where space is tight.

Suits installers fitting many cables in limited

The short bootless connectors help keep cable management tidy in crowded cabinets, server rooms or wall-mounted enclosures. Buyers who need strain-relief boots for frequent unplugging, or who require longer runs for desk-to-wall connections, should look at a different length or a booted design.

Check port spacing and required length before

Verify that the 2 ft reach matches the distance between your devices and that the non-booted RJ45 tabs clear adjacent ports on your specific patch panel or switch. Ensure your equipment supports Cat6A shielding and that the 26AWG stranded construction meets your bend-radius requirements.

Questions about this item

What type of RJ45 ports do I need on my switch or server for this non-booted Cat6A cable to fit?

Standard RJ45 ports accept the non-booted connector; the cable uses 50 µm gold-plated contacts on a regular 8P8C jack.

Will this 26 AWG stranded Cat6A cable run at 10 Gbps alongside my older Cat5e patch cords?

Yes, the 500 MHz Cat6A rating supports 10 Gbps and the cable is backward compatible with Cat5e ports, though the link will negotiate to the lowest common speed.

How can I verify the 500 MHz bandwidth is actually delivering 10 Gbps after I plug it in?

Check the link speed in your OS network adapter settings or switch port status — it should read 10 Gbps full duplex when both ends support it.
