Monoprice 145432 Cat6A STP 20 ft
This shielded Cat6A patch cable uses 26AWG stranded bare copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 contacts. It is rated for 500 MHz bandwidth and supports 10G Ethernet speeds. The non-booted design reduces the connector footprint for tight spaces.
High-density racks and patch panels
Installers working in crowded cabinets or high-density patch panels benefit from the non-booted plugs that fit side-by-side without interference. The STP shielding protects signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Buyers who need a booted strain-relief sleeve for frequent unplugging should look at something else.
500 MHz bandwidth rating
The 500 MHz specification determines whether the cable meets the Cat6A performance class required for 10GBASE-T over the full 20 ft length. If the installation calls for a higher frequency class such as Cat8, this cable will not satisfy that requirement.

Questions about this item
Will the 500 MHz bandwidth handle sustained 10 Gbps traffic?
The cable is rated for 500 MHz bandwidth and supports 10 Gbps Ethernet, so sustained 10 Gbps traffic stays within its certified frequency range.
Does the 26 AWG stranded construction run hotter or draw more power than solid-core cables?
The cable is passive with no power draw; 26 AWG stranded bare copper conductors add negligible resistance over 20 ft, so heat and power are not concerns.
Do I need shielded keystone jacks or a grounded patch panel for the STP shielding to work?
The STP foil shield terminates at the gold-plated RJ45 plugs; grounding requires shielded jacks or a grounded patch panel at both ends.
