Monoprice 124340 Cat6A Ethernet Patch Cable 0.9144m Orange 550MHz STP 26AWG

Ready-made Cat6A patch cable

The Monoprice 124340 is a pre-terminated Cat6A Ethernet patch cable built with 26AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors. It measures 0.9144 metres long and comes in an orange jacket for easy identification in crowded racks. The cable is designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links up to 550 MHz bandwidth and meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 fire safety standards. It suits installers who need a compliant drop-in link without field termination.

Snagless boot eases routing

Each RJ45 plug features a snagless boot that protects the retaining clip during pulls through cable trays or tight conduits. The stranded 26AWG construction keeps the cable flexible for tight bends behind patch panels or desk outlets. The only common issue is exceeding the 100 metre channel limit when combining multiple patch cords with horizontal runs, which can degrade 10G signal integrity. No special tools are required beyond a standard RJ45 port.

STP shielding sustains 10G throughput

The foil shield around all four pairs suppresses alien crosstalk so the link maintains 550 MHz performance under sustained 10G traffic loads. Pure bare copper conductors keep insertion loss low over the full 0.9144 metre length, preventing the throughput drops seen with copper-clad aluminum alternatives. The cable is not suited for outdoor or direct-burial use because the jacket lacks a UV or water-blocking rating. Buyers needing PoE++ power budgets should verify the connected equipment separately.
