145397 Cat6A patch cable

The Monoprice 145397 is a Category 6A shielded twisted pair patch cable built for high-density network installations. Its non-booted RJ45 connectors reduce the space required at each port, helping keep server racks and patch panels tidy. The one-foot length suits short runs between adjacent equipment. It is intended for installers and IT teams who need reliable 10 Gigabit links in tight spaces.

Shielded Cat6A performance

The cable is rated for 500 MHz bandwidth and uses 26 AWG stranded bare copper conductors to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. Gold-plated contacts with 50 µm thickness resist corrosion and maintain signal integrity over repeated mating cycles. STP construction helps reject external interference in electrically noisy environments. Buyers who need unshielded UTP cable or a longer reach for cross-building links should choose a different product.

Thermals noise and power

As a passive copper cable it draws no power and generates no heat or audible noise during operation. The stranded conductors remain flexible for routing through crowded cable managers without kinking. Gold plating on the contacts preserves low insertion loss over the cable's service life. No active cooling or external power supply is required for normal use.

Questions about this item

What does the 500 MHz rating mean for a 10 Gbps link?

The 500 MHz bandwidth supports the full 10 Gbps signal frequency required by Cat6A, so the cable can carry 10 Gbps over its 1-foot length without exceeding the category's performance limits.

How does the RJ45 connector's gold plating affect the connection?

The 50 µm gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain low contact resistance, preserving signal integrity for the 500 MHz Cat6A link.

How does the non-booted design change the space needed in a patch panel?

Removing the boot reduces the connector's rear profile, allowing tighter side-by-side placement in high-density patch panels or switch ports.
