Monoprice 124352 Cat6A STP Ethernet Cable

The Monoprice 124352 is a 7-foot Cat6A Shielded Twisted Pair Ethernet patch cable designed for network environments where both performance and interference protection matter. Built with 26AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors, this cable provides the flexibility needed for patch panel and device connections while maintaining the electrical properties required for high-speed data transmission. The STP shielding wraps the twisted pairs to guard against electromagnetic interference and alien crosstalk, which becomes increasingly important as cable density increases in server racks, home lab setups, and office networking closets.

Rated at 550MHz bandwidth, this cable supports the full Cat6A specification, including 10-Gigabit Ethernet at distances up to 100 meters. The RJ45 connectors feature 50-micron gold-plated contacts that resist oxidation and ensure a clean electrical connection through repeated plug and unplug cycles. A snagless boot on each connector protects the retaining clip from catching and snapping off during cable management, a common failure point with unprotected connectors. The cable meets UL and TIA-568-C.2 standards, providing assurance that it has been manufactured to recognized industry specifications. At 7 feet, this is a purpose-built short patch cable best suited for connecting devices within close proximity, keeping cable runs tidy and reducing unnecessary slack.
