Monoprice 145399 Cat6A STP Patch Cable

This 3‑foot shielded twisted‑pair cable uses 26AWG bare copper conductors and 50µm gold‑plated RJ45 contacts to deliver 500 MHz bandwidth and 10 Gbps throughput. The non‑booted plug reduces bulk in dense patch panels, making it suitable for server rooms, data centres and high‑density rack installations where space is limited.

Check connector spacing

Verify that your patch panel or switch ports accept non‑booted RJ45 plugs without snagging adjacent cables. Ensure the 26AWG stranded construction matches your termination standards and that the 3‑foot length reaches between devices without excess slack. Confirm the blue jacket colour fits your cable‑management colour‑coding scheme.

Thermals noise and power draw in normal use

Passive copper construction generates no heat, emits no noise and draws no power during operation. The shielded design resists electromagnetic interference, maintaining signal integrity across the full 500 MHz range without active cooling or additional power budget.

Questions about this item

Does the 3 ft cable come with connectors already fitted, or do I need to buy RJ45 plugs separately?

The cable is supplied as a finished patch cord with RJ45 connectors on both ends, so no separate plugs are required.

The listing shows model 145399 in blue; are other lengths or colours available under the same model?

Model 145399 identifies this specific 3 ft blue cable; other lengths or colours carry different model numbers.

Will the 500 MHz bandwidth and 26 AWG conductors support a 10 Gbps link on my switch?

The Cat6A rating, 500 MHz bandwidth and bare copper conductors are specified for 10 Gbps operation over this length.
