Purpose-built cable

The Monoprice 145405 is a 20 foot Category 6A patch cable with shielded twisted pair construction and two RJ45 connectors. It uses 26AWG stranded bare copper conductors and 50µm gold plated contacts to support 10G Ethernet links in dense racks or workstations.

Sustained throughput

The 500MHz bandwidth rating allows the cable to maintain 10G speeds over the full 20 foot run without the drop-off seen in lower category cables under continuous load. Shielding on every pair reduces alien crosstalk when many cables run side by side for long periods.

Thermals and power

Passive copper construction draws no power and generates no heat during normal operation. The non-booted plugs fit tight patch panels without blocking adjacent ports, keeping airflow paths clear in high-density installations.

Questions about this item

Does the 26AWG stranded conductor generate noticeable heat or draw extra power when the cable runs at 10G speeds all day?

The 26AWG stranded bare copper conductors carry data without active components, so they produce no measurable heat and draw no power of their own during continuous 10G operation.

What devices must already have RJ45 ports for this 20 ft Cat6A patch cable to work?

Both ends use standard RJ45 connectors, so you need two devices — such as a switch, router, server or desktop — each equipped with an RJ45 Ethernet port.

Will the non-booted 500MHz Cat6A cable fit cleanly beside older Cat5e or Cat6 patch cords in a crowded patch panel?

Yes, the non-booted design reduces the connector profile, allowing the cable to sit flush alongside legacy Cat5e or Cat6 cords in high-density panels without blocking adjacent ports.
