Monoprice Cat6 3 ft Ethernet Cable
The Monoprice 136208 is a Category 6 UTP patch cable built with 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors. It measures 0.9144 metres and terminates in snagless RJ45 connectors protected by moulded boots. The black jacket is UV resistant and rated for outdoor exposure. This cable delivers 550 MHz bandwidth for structured wiring tasks.
Suited for outdoor or indoor patching.
Installers who need a pre-terminated Cat6 link for exterior runs, temporary cross-connects or patch-panel jumps will find the UV-stable jacket and snagless boots practical. The stranded construction favours flexible routing over solid-core permanence. Buyers who require shielded twisted pair for noisy environments or plenum-rated jacket for air-handling spaces should look at a different cable type.
550 MHz bandwidth sets the performance ceiling
The 550 MHz rating defines the maximum frequency the cable is tested to support, which governs the data-rate headroom available for Gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet. If the network design demands higher certified bandwidth or a different fire rating, this specification indicates the limit of this part.

Questions about this item
Will the 24AWG stranded conductors and snagless boots fit a standard keystone jack or patch panel?
Yes — the cable uses standard RJ45 plugs with snagless boots that protect the retaining clip, so it inserts cleanly into any Cat6-compatible keystone or patch panel port.
Do I need to strip or crimp anything during installation, or is it ready to plug in?
It arrives fully terminated with molded RJ45 plugs on both ends; simply press each connector into the port until the clip clicks — no stripping, crimping or punch-down required.
How does the UV-resistant jacket affect long-term use outdoors, and will the cable need replacement?
The UV-resistant jacket slows sun-induced brittleness, so the cable lasts longer in exposed runs; replace it only if the jacket cracks or the snagless boots break and the clip no longer latches.
