25 ft Cat6 Patch Cable

The Monoprice 102318 is a 25 foot Category 6 Ethernet patch cable built with 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors. It carries a 550MHz bandwidth rating and terminates in RJ45 plugs with 50µm gold plated contacts. The unshielded twisted pair design meets UL Code 444 and TIA-568-C requirements for communications wiring. A red snagless strain relief boot protects the connector latch during installation.

Home and office wired connections

This cable suits anyone extending a wired network between a router, switch, modem or wall jack and a desktop, laptop, smart TV, console or NAS. The 25 foot length covers typical room to room runs without excess slack. Buyers who need in wall or riser rated cable for permanent installation should look at something else, as should anyone requiring shielded construction for high interference environments.

Verify port type and run length

Before ordering, confirm that both endpoints use standard RJ45 ports and that a 25 foot run reaches the intended path with enough slack for routing. Check that your networking hardware supports Gigabit or faster speeds to benefit from the Cat6 specification. Ensure the pathway can accommodate an unshielded cable without exposure to strong electromagnetic sources.

Questions about this item

What devices need RJ45 ports to use this 25 ft Cat6 cable?

Any router, switch, modem, PC, NAS, gaming console or IP camera with a standard RJ45 jack will connect directly to the 24AWG stranded copper conductors and 50µm gold-plated contacts.

Will this 550 MHz Cat6 cable work with my older Cat5e patch panel and 100 Mbps switch?

Yes. The UTP construction and TIA-568-C compliance make it fully backward compatible, so it will link at the highest speed both ends support without extra configuration.

How can I verify the 25 ft red cable is performing to its 550 MHz rating after installation?

Check the link lights for a stable gigabit connection, then run a cable certifier or the switch’s error counters; clean counters and full duplex at 1 Gbps show the pure bare copper and gold contacts are working correctly.
