What This Cable Is
Monoprice model 3426 is a 1.524 metre Cat6 patch cord built with 24 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors and 50 µm gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The unshielded twisted-pair construction meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C requirements for communications wiring. Snagless strain-relief boots protect the connectors during repeated insertion.
Who Should Use It
Installers who need a short, standards-compliant Cat6 link for Gigabit Ethernet will find the 550 MHz bandwidth and pure copper conductors reliable. Buyers who require shielded cable for high-interference environments or lengths beyond the fixed 1.524 metre span should look at other cable types.
Deciding Specification
The 24 AWG pure bare copper conductor gauge is the single figure that determines whether this cable satisfies fire-code and electrical-code requirements for in-wall or plenum-adjacent runs.

Questions about this item
What bandwidth does the 550 MHz Cat6 rating actually support?
The 550 MHz bandwidth supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to the cable's 1.524 m length, meeting TIA-568-C performance requirements.
What connector clearance do the snagless boots on this 24 AWG cable need?
The colour-matched snagless strain relief boots on the RJ45 plugs require standard port spacing; they protect the latch without adding bulk that blocks adjacent ports.
How do I seat the 50 µm gold contacts correctly on the first try?
Push the RJ45 plug straight in until the latch clicks; the short-body 50 µm gold contacts need full insertion, and the snagless boot must not catch on the port surround.
