Monoprice Cat6A STP cable 100 ft
This Monoprice 145437 cable is a shielded twisted pair Category 6A patch lead built with 26AWG stranded bare copper conductors. It carries a 500MHz bandwidth rating and terminates in RJ45 connectors fitted with 50µm gold-plated contacts. The non-booted design reduces the connector footprint for tight patch-panel spacing.
Suited for 10GBASE-T links in dense racks.
The shielded construction and 500MHz bandwidth target installers running 10GBASE-T over the full 100-foot channel in server rooms or data centres where alien crosstalk is a concern. Gold plating helps maintain contact integrity through repeated mating cycles. Builders who need a more flexible cable for sharp corners or desktop patching should look at something else because the STP jacket and internal foil add stiffness.
500MHz bandwidth and STP shielding decide fit
The single specification that determines whether this part matches the job is the 500MHz bandwidth combined with full shielded twisted pair construction. If the link budget requires Category 6A performance with alien-crosstalk protection, this cable meets that requirement. If the installation only calls for Category 6 or unshielded runs, the extra shielding and bandwidth are unnecessary.

Questions about this item
What bandwidth does the Cat6A 500 MHz rating actually support?
The cable is rated for 500 MHz bandwidth, which meets the Category 6A specification for 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over the full 100-foot length.
Will the non-booted RJ45 connectors fit my high-density patch panel?
Yes, the non-booted design reduces connector depth, allowing side-by-side insertion in dense 45-degree or flat panels without blocking adjacent ports.
How do I terminate or test this pre-terminated 100-foot cable after routing it?
The cable arrives with gold-plated RJ45 plugs already crimped on both ends; simply route the 26 AWG stranded cable and plug it in — no termination or crimping is required.
