Cable Leader 14ft Cat6 Non-Booted Patch Cable

This 14ft gray Cat6 cable uses 24AWG bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts to deliver a reliable Gigabit Ethernet link. The non-booted plug design seats cleanly in high-density patch panels and keystone jacks where space is tight. It is tested to 550MHz, well above the 250MHz Cat6 minimum, and supports 10G speeds over short runs. RoHS compliant with UL, cUL and ETL listings.

Drop-in upgrade from Cat5e in dense installs

Replacing Cat5e with this cable raises the tested bandwidth from 100MHz to 550MHz while keeping the same RJ45 footprint, making the jump worthwhile when you need headroom for 10G short runs or cleaner signal integrity in crowded racks. The non-booted plugs remove the bulk that blocks adjacent ports on fully populated patch panels, so the upgrade also solves a physical access problem. It is not for buyers who need shielded cable for noisy industrial environments or runs longer than the Cat6 10G distance limit.

Fits tight panels and frees adjacent ports

The slim, bootless connectors sit flush in patch panels, keystone jacks and switch ports, improving airflow and leaving room for neighboring cables in 45-degree or straight patching layouts. Four twisted pairs of bare copper terminate to standard 8P8C plugs compatible with routers, switches, PCs and PoE devices. No special tooling is required beyond a standard crimper if you re-terminate, and the cable works with existing Cat5e infrastructure for a straight swap.

Questions about this item

How much clearance does the non-booted RJ45 plug need in a high-density patch panel?

The non-booted design removes the molded boot, so the 8P8C plug seats flush in tightly packed patch panels and keystone jacks without extra depth.

What is the correct way to seat the non-booted RJ45 connector so it locks?

Push the 8P8C plug straight in until the latch clicks; the missing boot means you must feel for the click rather than rely on boot resistance.

When should the 24AWG bare copper cable be replaced in a PoE installation?

Replace if the jacket shows cuts, the gold-plated contacts discolor, or PoE devices report power negotiation errors on this 14 ft run.
