Compact flat Cat6 patch cable

Monoprice model 140884 is a seven-foot flat Cat6 Ethernet patch cable built with 30 AWG pure bare copper conductors. The low-profile jacket reduces congestion and resists tangling in tight routing paths. Snagless RJ45 plugs feature a thinner boot that is easier to depress for quick changes. The cable is tested to 550 MHz bandwidth and meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C requirements.

Suited for dense rack or desk runs.

Installers who need a thin, flexible patch cord for high-density patch panels, cable raceways or cramped desk grommets will benefit from the flat profile and easy-release boots. Buyers who require shielded twisted pair construction for noisy electrical environments should look at a different cable type. The stranded conductors are intended for patching, not for solid-core horizontal runs inside walls.

550 MHz tested bandwidth on 30 AWG pure copper

The single specification that decides fit is the verified 550 MHz bandwidth on 100 percent pure bare copper conductors at 30 AWG. This confirms the cable can carry the frequencies required for gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet over the full seven-foot length while remaining compliant with UL 444 and TIA-568-C fire and safety standards.

Questions about this item

What type of RJ45 ports do my router and devices need for this Cat6 flat cable?

Standard 8P8C RJ45 ports are required on both ends; the cable uses snagless RJ45 connectors that fit any Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat6a jack.

Will the 30 AWG flat cable work reliably with older 100 Mbps switches and Cat5e patch panels?

Yes, the UTP Cat6 cable is backward compatible with 10/100 Mbps equipment and Cat5e infrastructure while still providing 550 MHz bandwidth headroom.

How can I verify the 550 MHz bandwidth is active after I plug in the 140884 cable?

Run a cable certifier or check the link speed on your switch; a stable 1 Gbps negotiation with low error counters shows the cable meets its rated performance.
