15ft Cat6A STP Patch Cable

The Monoprice 145404 is a 15-foot shielded Category 6A Ethernet cable built with 26AWG stranded bare copper conductors. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors and a 500MHz bandwidth rating support 10GBASE-T speeds. The non-booted plug design reduces the footprint in dense patch panels or switch stacks.

High-density racks and short 10G links

Installers running 10G connections inside cabinets or between adjacent racks benefit from the slim profile and full shielding. Buyers who need longer horizontal runs, in-wall installations, or plenum-rated jacketing should look at solid-core alternatives instead.

Non-booted plug for tight port spacing

The unbooted RJ45 connector is the single detail that determines fit in high-density patching fields; it allows side-by-side insertion where booted cables would block adjacent ports.

Questions about this item

What type of RJ45 ports must my switch or router have for this Cat6A cable to connect?

Standard RJ45 ports on any switch, router, or network card accept the gold-plated connectors on this cable.

Will this shielded Cat6A cable work properly if I keep my older Cat5e patch panel in the same rack?

Yes, the STP cable is backward compatible and will negotiate the highest speed both ends support.

How can I verify the 500 MHz bandwidth is actually delivering 10 Gbps after I plug it in?

Run a cable certifier or check the link speed in your OS network settings; it should show 10 Gbps full duplex.
