Shielded Cat6A patch cable for dense racks

This 10‑foot Monoprice 145429 cable uses shielded twisted‑pair construction and pure bare copper conductors to support 500 MHz bandwidth and 10 Gbps Ethernet runs. The non‑booted RJ45 plugs reduce depth at each port, helping keep high‑density patch panels and server cabinets tidy.

Gold‑plated contacts and non‑booted plugs

Fifty‑micron gold plating on the copper pins resists corrosion and maintains low‑resistance connections over repeated insertions. Removing the protective boot shortens the connector body, so cables sit closer to the panel and airflow is less restricted in tightly packed racks.

Ten‑foot reach with 26 AWG flexibility

At 10 feet the cable comfortably spans rack‑to‑rack or switch‑to‑server links while the 26 AWG stranded conductors stay pliable for tight bends. Shielding handles alien crosstalk up to the rated 500 MHz, but runs longer than the specification allows will exceed the guaranteed performance envelope.

Questions about this item

Will the 26AWG stranded bare copper conductors need replacement after repeated patch-panel moves?

The 26AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors are built for flexible routing; they do not require scheduled replacement unless physical damage occurs during re-termination or tight bends.

What limits 10 Gbps throughput first on a 10 ft run at 500 MHz bandwidth?

At 10 feet the 500 MHz bandwidth and shielded twisted pair construction keep insertion loss well within Cat6A limits, so the practical ceiling is the connected 10 GbE port rather than the cable itself.

Does the non-booted STP jacket run hotter or draw more power than a booted cable in a rack?

The cable is passive — it draws no power and generates no measurable heat; the non-booted design only reduces physical depth in high-density patching.
