Monoprice Cat6A STP 15 ft Cable
The Monoprice 145431 is a shielded twisted pair Category 6A patch cable built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. It uses 26 AWG stranded bare copper conductors and 50 µm gold plated RJ45 connectors. The non-booted design reduces the connector footprint for tight patch panels and high density racks. Rated bandwidth is 500 MHz.
Suits crowded racks and short runs
Installers who need a slim profile for dense switches or cable managers will benefit from the non-booted plugs. The STP shielding helps reject alien crosstalk in bundles. Buyers who want a protective boot over the latch, or who need longer permanent link distances, should look at something else.
500 MHz bandwidth rating
The 500 MHz rating is the single figure that confirms the cable meets the Category 6A transmission standard. It supports 10GBASE-T speeds on runs up to 15 feet. If your design requires a higher frequency rating or a different gauge, this is not the correct part.

Questions about this item
Will the non-booted RJ45 plugs fit side-by-side in a 45-port patch panel?
Yes, the non-booted design reduces plug depth so cables sit closer together in high-density panels.
Do I need a special tool to terminate the shielded 26AWG conductors, or can I crimp standard RJ45 plugs?
The cable arrives with factory-crimped gold-plated RJ45 plugs; no field termination is required.
How often should I replace a 500MHz Cat6A patch cord in a 10G server rack?
Replace only if the jacket is kinked, the shield is torn, or connectors show corrosion — otherwise the bare copper conductors and gold contacts are rated for the life of the installation.
