Ultra-Short Flat Cat6 Cable
This Monoprice 140879 patch cable measures 0.5 feet and uses a flat, 30AWG stranded design with pure bare copper conductors. It is rated for 550MHz bandwidth and built as an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Category 6 cable. The thin Flexboot protects the RJ45 retaining clip while making it easier to depress during frequent changes.
Check Port Spacing And Cable Management Needs
The 0.5 foot length suits only directly adjacent ports on the same device or panel. Verify that your patch panel, switch or router has enough clearance for the flat jacket and the low-profile Flexboot. Ensure your installation follows TIA-568-C wiring standards and that the run does not exceed the maximum channel length for Cat6 performance.
Ideal For Dense Racks And Temporary Links
Network engineers managing high-density racks, cable raceways or short interconnects between stacked equipment will benefit from the tangle-resistant flat profile. Installers who need fully compliant pure copper conductors meeting UL 444 and NEC requirements are also covered. Builders needing longer runs, shielded cabling for noisy environments or outdoor-rated jackets should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
Does the cable come with any extra connectors or tools, or is it ready to plug straight into a router and PC?
The 0.5 ft flat Cat6 patch cable arrives terminated with snagless RJ45 plugs on both ends, so it connects directly to a router, switch or PC without additional parts.
When would I pick the 0.5 ft length versus a longer run?
Choose the half-foot cable for ultra-short links such as a switch-to-patch-panel jumper or a tidy desk connection; longer runs need a different length to avoid tension.
What does the 550 MHz bandwidth rating deliver in practice?
The 550 MHz rating means the stranded 30 AWG pure bare copper conductors support full Cat6 performance up to 1 Gbps across the short 0.5 ft distance.
