Cat6 550MHz patch cable
The Monoprice 111362 is a 7-foot Cat6 Ethernet patch cable built for 1 Gigabit networks. It uses 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors and unshielded twisted pairs rated for 550MHz bandwidth. The orange jacket and snagless Flexboot RJ45 plugs suit home, office or rack installations where quick identification matters.
Sustained throughput on copper
The 550MHz bandwidth rating supports continuous 1 Gigabit transmission across the full 7-foot length without the signal degradation seen on copper-clad aluminium alternatives. Pure bare copper conductors maintain consistent impedance and crosstalk margins under prolonged load, meeting TIA-568-C.2 and UL 444 requirements for permanent links.
Thermals noise and power draw
Passive copper construction produces no heat, emits no noise and draws no power beyond the negligible signal current from connected ports. Gold-plated 50-micron contacts resist corrosion to keep insertion loss stable over time. The thin Flexboot protects the retaining clip without adding bulk that restricts airflow in dense 12, 24, 48 or 96-port panels.

Questions about this item
Does the 550 MHz Cat6 cable generate any heat or draw extra power when it runs all day?
The cable is passive copper wiring with no active components, so it produces no measurable heat and consumes no power of its own during continuous operation.
What devices must I already have for the RJ45 connectors on this 7 ft orange patch lead to work?
Any equipment with standard 8P8C Gigabit Ethernet ports — routers, switches, PCs, NAS boxes or patch panels — will accept the snagless RJ45 plugs directly.
Will the 24 AWG stranded conductors and Flexboot plug work reliably with older 10/100 Mb switches I still use?
Yes, Cat6 is fully backward compatible; the 550 MHz bandwidth and gold-plated contacts maintain clean signals on legacy Fast Ethernet gear.
