Monoprice Inc. 9789 network ethernet cable 0.5 ft blue 12-pack

Cat6 0.5 ft 12-pack patch cables

This 12-pack supplies twelve Cat6 Ethernet patch cables each measuring 0.5 ft. They are built with 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors and unshielded twisted pair construction rated for 550MHz bandwidth. The cables carry RJ45 connectors with 50um gold plated contacts and a thin Flexboot that protects the retaining clip while making it easier to depress. They meet UL Code 444 and TIA-568-C.2 requirements for communications wiring.

Installers populating high-density panels

Network technicians wiring 12, 24, 48 or 96-port patch panels or switches will appreciate the short length and bulk packaging that reduces clutter in crowded racks. The snagless boot speeds up insertion and removal when ports are tightly spaced. Buyers who need longer runs for desk-to-wall connections or who require shielded cable for noisy environments should look at other options.

Sustained gigabit throughput in dense racks

The pure bare copper conductors and 550MHz rating support continuous 1 Gigabit transmission across all twelve cables without the signal degradation seen with copper-clad aluminum alternatives. Gold plated contacts resist corrosion so performance remains stable over time even with frequent re-patching. The thin Flexboot does not impede airflow in fully populated panels, helping maintain consistent operating temperatures under load.
