Monoprice Cat6 550MHz patch cable

This 1.524 m red Cat6 ethernet cable is built for gigabit network connections in home and office environments. It uses 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors to meet TIA-568-C.2 and UL 444 requirements. The cable suits anyone wiring patch panels, switches or wall ports where a short, flexible run is needed.

550MHz bandwidth and 1 Gigabit rating

Rated for 1 Gigabit transmission with bandwidth tested up to 550MHz, the cable handles typical gigabit ethernet traffic with headroom for crosstalk margin. It is not shielded, so in electrically noisy areas or runs exceeding the Cat6 distance limit, performance may degrade and shielded or fibre alternatives become necessary.

Flexboot snagless RJ45 with gold contacts

The thin Flexboot protects the retaining clip while making it easier to depress during insertion or removal. Fifty-micron gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for reliable long-term signal quality. The snagless design prevents the clip from catching on adjacent cables, which simplifies moves in dense 12, 24, 48 or 96-port panels.

Questions about this item

Will the 550 MHz bandwidth and 24 AWG pure bare copper conductors work reliably with my older Cat5e patch panel?

Yes, Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure; the 550 MHz bandwidth and 24 AWG pure bare copper conductors meet TIA-568-C.2 so they will link at the panel's rated speed.

How can I verify the 50 µm gold-plated RJ45 plugs are making proper contact after I plug them in?

Check for a solid link light on both switch ports and run a cable certifier or the network adapter's diagnostics; error-free gigabit negotiation confirms the gold-plated contacts are seated correctly.

Does the 1.524 m red Flexboot cable come individually or must I buy the 12-pack to get this model?

Model 9831 is sold as a single 5-foot red cable with the thin Flexboot snagless boot; the 12-pack is a separate SKU for bulk panel installations.
