Monoprice Inc. 9838 Cat6 network ethernet cable 2.1336 m yellow 12-pack

Twelve-Cable Pack for Dense Patch Panels

This twelve-pack of Cat6 patch cables is built for installers populating 12, 24, 48 or 96-port networking devices and patch panels. Each 2.1336 metre yellow cable uses 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors, meeting UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 requirements for communications wiring. The 550MHz bandwidth rating supports gigabit transmission across short patch runs. Buyers needing shielded cable or longer individual lengths should look elsewhere.

Flexboot Snagless Design Simplifies Dense Installs

The Flexboot moulding is thinner than standard snagless boots, so the retaining clip is easier to depress when cables are packed side-by-side in high-density panels. Gold-plated contacts at 50 micrometres resist corrosion that can degrade signal over time. Because the cables are unshielded twisted pair, they must be kept clear of strong EMI sources such as fluorescent ballasts or power distribution units. No special tools are required beyond a standard RJ45 crimper if re-termination is ever needed.

Verify Port Density and Cable Management Space

Confirm the target switch or patch panel has enough free ports for the full twelve-cable bundle and that cable managers can accommodate the combined diameter. Check that the 2.1336 metre reach matches the distance between rack-mounted equipment and the panel without excess slack that blocks airflow. Ensure the rack environment does not require shielded or plenum-rated cable, as this UTP construction does not meet those specifications.
