50ft Cat6 Non-Booted Patch Cable

This 50ft Cat6 cable delivers a reliable Gigabit wired link for networking equipment. The non-booted RJ45 plugs are built for tight, high-density patch panels and keystone jacks where a molded boot would not fit. Four twisted pairs of 24AWG bare copper with 50-micron gold-plated contacts maintain signal integrity. It is tested to 550MHz, well above the 250MHz Cat6 baseline, and carries UL, cUL and ETL listings.

Ideal for Dense Racks and Structured Cabling

Installers running cable in server rooms, data centers or crowded patch panels benefit from the slim, non-booted design that eases airflow and simplifies management. The cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10G over short runs while remaining backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure. Buyers who need shielded cable for noisy industrial environments or outdoor-rated jackets for direct burial should look at a different construction.

Capacity Headroom and Limits

At 550MHz the cable provides comfortable headroom for 1Gbps links and short-run 10G connections within the Cat6 specification. The 50ft length stays well inside the 100m channel limit for Gigabit, leaving margin for patch cords and cross-connects. Performance drops off beyond the rated frequency and distance, so runs that exceed Cat6 channel limits or require certified 10G at full distance need a higher-category solution.

Questions about this item

What devices need RJ45 ports to use this 50ft Cat6 cable?

Routers, switches, patch panels, keystone jacks, PCs and PoE devices all accept the RJ45 plugs on this 24AWG bare copper cable.

Will this 550MHz Cat6 cable work with my existing Cat5e patch panel?

Yes, it is backward compatible with Cat5e for a drop-in upgrade while still supporting Gigabit Ethernet and 10G over short runs.

How can I confirm the cable is performing to its 550MHz rating after installation?

Use a cable certifier or network tester that verifies Cat6 performance up to 550MHz; the gold-plated contacts and bare copper pairs are built for that bandwidth.
