Monoprice 124375 Cat6A STP Ethernet Cable 14ft

The Monoprice 124375 Cat6A Ethernet Patch Cable is a straightforward networking essential built to a higher standard than many of the budget cables on the market. Its 100% pure bare copper 26AWG conductors are a meaningful upgrade over the copper-clad aluminum found in cheaper cables — bare copper offers lower resistance, better signal transmission, and greater durability over time. The Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) construction adds a foil shield around the twisted pairs, reducing electromagnetic interference and crosstalk that can degrade performance in environments where cables run alongside power cords or other Ethernet runs.

Rated at 550MHz bandwidth, this Cat6A cable comfortably supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 standards. The 14-foot length is a practical middle ground — long enough to connect devices across a room or between a desk and a wall jack, but not so long that cable management becomes cumbersome. Snagless boots on the RJ45 connectors protect the locking clips from catching and breaking during insertion or removal, a small detail that extends the cable's usable life. For anyone setting up a home network, connecting a NAS, or wiring a workstation to a switch, this cable delivers the performance and build quality expected from Monoprice at a competitive price.
