Monoprice Cat6 Purple Flexboot 2 ft

This Monoprice Cat6 Ethernet patch cable measures 2 ft and uses 24 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors. It is built for gigabit networks and tested to a 550 MHz bandwidth rating. The purple jacket helps identify the run in a busy rack or panel.

Upgrade from older Cat5e or damaged patch leads

Replacing a Cat5e cord with this Cat6 cable raises the verified bandwidth to 550 MHz and supports full gigabit throughput. The jump is worth it when a link drops to 100 Mbps because of a kinked or corroded connector. The 50 µm gold-plated contacts resist oxidation that degrades signal over time.

Fits high-density 12 24 48 96 port panels

The thin Flexboot cover protects the RJ45 retaining clip while leaving enough clearance to depress the tab in crowded patch panels. UTP construction meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 fire and safety standards for in-wall or plenum-adjacent runs. The stranded conductors stay flexible for repeated re-patching.

Questions about this item

What RJ45 boot style does this 2 ft purple cable use and how much space does it need?

The FLEXboot is thinner than standard snagless boots, so it fits tight patch-panel ports and leaves enough finger room to depress the retaining clip easily.

How do I seat the modular plug without damaging the 50 µm gold contacts?

Push the plug straight in until the clip clicks; the flexible boot lets you press the clip down fully before pulling, which avoids angling the pins.

When should I replace this Cat6 patch cord?

Replace it if the boot tears, the clip breaks, or the gold-plated contacts show corrosion — otherwise the pure bare copper conductors and 550 MHz rating remain reliable for the cable's lifetime.
