Monoprice 113288 Cat6 Ethernet Cable 25ft

The Monoprice Cat6 Ethernet Patch Cable (Model 113288) is a 25-foot network cable designed for connecting computers, gaming consoles, smart TVs, and other Ethernet-capable devices to routers, switches, or wall jacks. It uses 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors — not the cheaper copper-clad aluminum found in some budget cables — which ensures full compliance with Cat6 performance standards and consistent data transmission across the entire 25-foot run. With 550 MHz bandwidth, the cable supports everything from standard Fast Ethernet up to 10GBASE-T networking.

The zeroboot connector design omits the plastic snag guard, producing a slimmer RJ45 plug that fits easily into crowded switch ports and wall plates. While this does leave the retaining clip slightly more exposed, it's a worthwhile trade for environments where access is tight. The 50-micron gold-plated contacts resist oxidation over time, maintaining a clean electrical connection even in setups where the cable stays plugged in for years. At 25 feet, this cable covers the majority of room-to-room connections in homes and small offices, providing enough reach without the coiling and clutter that comes with unnecessarily long cables.
