Short run patch cable for dense racks

This 1 ft Cat6 patch cable uses 24 AWG bare copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 contacts to deliver a Gigabit Ethernet link, with headroom for 10 Gbps over short distances. The non-booted plug profile is made for high-density patch panels and keystone jacks where space between ports is tight. Red jacketing helps colour-code runs in structured cabling installations. It is tested to 550 MHz, well above the Cat6 baseline of 250 MHz.

Passive thermals and low insertion loss

As an unshielded twisted-pair cable it has no active components, so it generates no heat and adds no audible noise to the rack. The 24 AWG bare copper pairs keep insertion loss low across the tested 550 MHz bandwidth, supporting full Gigabit throughput without signal degradation. Power-over-Ethernet current passes through the gold-plated contacts without measurable voltage drop. No external power or cooling is required.

Non-booted plugs simplify dense cable management

The non-booted RJ45 connectors seat cleanly in crowded patch panels, improving airflow and making individual cables easier to trace, remove or replace without disturbing neighbours. Each plug carries 50-micron gold-plated contacts on all eight positions for corrosion-resistant mating cycles. The cable is UL, cUL and ETL listed and RoHS compliant, meeting common data-centre procurement requirements. It is not suited for outdoor burial or runs that require shielded cable.

Questions about this item

How do I insert the non-booted RJ45 plugs into a high-density patch panel without damaging the latch?

Align the 8P8C plug with the keystone jack, press straight in until the latch clicks, and pull gently to confirm it is seated; the missing boot lets the plug clear adjacent ports in tight rows.

What upkeep will the gold-plated contacts and bare copper conductors need over time?

No routine maintenance is required; the 50-micron gold plating resists corrosion and the 24AWG bare copper pairs retain signal integrity for the life of the installation.

At what point does the 550 MHz tested bandwidth limit sustained 10 Gbps throughput on this 1 ft run?

The Cat6 standard caps 10 Gbps at 55 metres; on a 1 ft patch cord the 550 MHz headroom keeps crosstalk well below the limit, so distance — not bandwidth — is the first constraint.
