Compact shielded Cat6A cable

The Monoprice 145430 is a 14 foot Category 6A patch cable built with shielded twisted pair construction and 26AWG bare copper conductors. It is rated for 500MHz bandwidth and terminated with gold plated RJ45 connectors. The non-booted design reduces the connector footprint for tight spaces.

Suited for dense patch panels and short runs

This cable fits high-density racks, server rooms and network cabinets where standard boots block adjacent ports. The 14 foot length serves typical rack-to-rack or switch-to-panel links. It is not intended for installers who need a protective boot for frequent unplugging or for runs that exceed the length supplied.

10G headroom over 14 feet

The 500MHz specification supports 10GBASE-T across the full 14 foot span with margin for alien crosstalk. Shielding and bare copper conductors preserve signal quality on short links. The cable runs out of reach for longer horizontal runs or permanent installations that require solid conductor cable and greater length.

Questions about this item

What devices need an RJ45 port to use this 14 ft Cat6A cable?

Any router, switch, server or workstation with a standard RJ45 jack will accept the gold-plated connectors on this 14-foot shielded patch lead.

Will the 26AWG stranded conductors and STP shielding work with my existing Cat5e patch panel?

Yes, the Category 6A cable is backward compatible, so it will run at Cat5e speeds through your current panel while the foil shield still resists alien crosstalk.

How can I confirm the link is running at the rated 500 MHz bandwidth after installation?

Check the link speed on the switch or NIC; a negotiated 10 Gbps connection indicates the 500 MHz channel is operating correctly.
