Cable Leader 5 ft Cat6 Non-Booted Patch Cable

This 5-foot Cat6 cable provides a wired Gigabit Ethernet link for routers, switches, patch panels, keystone jacks, PCs and PoE devices. It uses 24 AWG bare copper conductors in four twisted pairs terminated with 8P8C RJ45 plugs featuring 50-micron gold-plated contacts. The yellow jacket aids visual identification in structured cabling environments. It is tested to 550 MHz, exceeding the Cat6 minimum of 250 MHz, and remains backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure.

Non-Booted Plug for High-Density Panels

The non-booted RJ45 design removes the molded boot found on standard patch cables, allowing the connector to seat cleanly inside tightly packed patch panels and keystone jacks. This physical profile improves airflow around dense port blocks and simplifies cable routing in server rooms and data centres. No shielding is present, so the cable relies on the twisted-pair geometry for noise rejection. It fits any standard RJ45 port without requiring specialised mounting hardware or additional clearance.

Sustained Signal Integrity at 550 MHz

The cable is verified to 550 MHz bandwidth, supporting Gigabit Ethernet continuously and 10G speeds over short runs without the performance dip that can occur on lower-spec links. Bare copper conductors and gold-plated contacts maintain low contact resistance and corrosion resistance over long install lifetimes. RoHS compliance and UL, cUL and ETL listings confirm adherence to safety and materials standards for permanent infrastructure deployments. It is not intended for outdoor or direct-burial use.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth limit appears first when running 10G traffic over this 550MHz Cat6 cable?

The Cat6 standard caps 10GBASE-T at short runs; the 550MHz rating gives headroom above the 250MHz minimum but does not extend the official distance limit.

How does the non-booted design affect heat or airflow in a fully populated patch panel?

Without a molded boot the plug seats deeper, leaving more space between cables so air moves freely and the panel runs cooler during all-day operation.

Which devices must already have RJ45 ports for this cable to work?

Routers, switches, patch panels, keystone jacks, PCs or PoE equipment — any gear with standard 8P8C RJ45 sockets will connect directly.
