Monoprice 141812 Cat6 Ethernet Cable 1ft Black 12-Pack

The Monoprice 141812 Cat6 Ethernet cable 12-pack delivers a practical quantity of 1-foot patch cables built to a higher standard than many budget alternatives. Each cable uses 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors — not the copper-clad aluminum found in lower-cost cables — ensuring reliable data transmission, lower resistance, and better long-term durability. With 550MHz bandwidth and full Cat6 compliance, these cables comfortably support Gigabit Ethernet and can handle 10 Gigabit speeds over their short length, making them ready for current and next-generation network equipment.

The FLEXboot snagless design addresses one of the most common frustrations with patch cables: broken retaining clips. The slim, protective boot shields the clip during insertion and removal while also making it easier to depress the release tab in crowded patch panels where fingers struggle to reach. At one foot in length, these cables are purpose-built for short connections — switch-to-switch links in a rack, patch panel to switch runs, or connecting nearby desktop equipment. The 12-pack quantity is well-suited for outfitting a small network rack or replacing worn cables across a workstation setup in a single purchase.
