Monoprice Inc. 2299 network ethernet cable 3 feet white Cat6 550MHz 24AWG

Three-foot white Cat6 patch cable

The Monoprice 2299 is a 0.9144 metre Cat6 UTP patch cable with RJ45 connectors, designed for short indoor runs between a computer, router, switch or wall plate. Its stranded 24AWG pure bare copper conductors meet UL 444 and TIA-568-C requirements, so it suits home offices, dorm rooms or small-business desks that need a compliant drop cable. The white jacket and colour-matched snagless boots keep the install tidy in visible locations.

Replaces worn or non-compliant Cat5e cords

Swapping an old Cat5e or copper-clad aluminium cable for this Cat6 link raises the tested bandwidth to 550 MHz and restores full copper conductivity, which matters when the existing cable fails certification or shows intermittent errors. The jump is worth it when the current run is damaged, uncertified or too short for a rearranged desk. Builders who need longer reach, shielded construction or plenum-rated jackets should look elsewhere.

Gold-plated contacts hold signal over repeated

The 50 µm gold plating on each contact resists oxidation better than the 10 µm coating found on budget cables, preserving low contact resistance through many insertions. Stranded conductors tolerate frequent flexing at the connector boot without work-hardening, so the link stays stable when equipment is moved or the cable is routed around furniture legs. No active components or signal conditioning are present; performance depends on the connected ports and overall channel length.
