Cat6 3 ft patch cable
This Monoprice Cat6 Ethernet patch cable measures three feet and uses 24 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors with 50-micron gold-plated contacts. The unshielded twisted-pair design is rated for 550 MHz bandwidth and includes colour-matched snagless strain-relief boots. It meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C requirements for communications wiring.
Home and office network runs
The short length suits connections between a router, switch or wall jack and a desktop, laptop, printer or NAS located on the same desk or shelf. Builders who need longer runs, outdoor-rated jackets or shielded cable for high-interference environments should select a different product.
550 MHz bandwidth rating
The 550 MHz bandwidth rating is the key specification that determines whether this cable meets the performance tier required for a given installation. It confirms Cat6-class headroom for Gigabit Ethernet and indicates the maximum frequency the link is tested to support.

Questions about this item
Will the RJ45 connectors on this 3-foot Cat6 cable clear a 24-port patch panel without blocking adjacent ports?
The cable uses short-body RJ45 plugs with 50-micron gold-plated contacts and colour-matched snagless strain-relief boots designed to sit flush in high-density panels.
What is the correct way to seat the snagless boot when plugging the cable into a keystone jack?
Push the connector straight in until the boot clicks; rocking it sideways bends the latch tab and defeats the snagless feature.
How often should I inspect or replace this stranded 24AWG UTP patch cord in a typical office installation?
Visually check the boot latch and jacket for cracks during any rack rework; the stranded pure bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold contacts are rated for the cable's lifetime under normal indoor use.
