Installation Notes
This non-booted Cat6 patch cable is specifically designed for high-density installations where space is limited and maximum port utilization is critical. The absence of the molded strain-relief boot creates a slimmer profile at the connector, allowing cables to be placed side-by-side in adjacent ports without interference.
10 Gigabit Ethernet Performance: This Cat6 cable supports 10GBase-T (10 Gbps) for short-run connections, making it ideal for high-density rack installations where equipment is closely spaced. For longer runs up to 100 meters, it reliably supports Gigabit Ethernet and all lower speeds.
When to Choose Non-Booted vs. Booted:
- Non-Booted (this cable): Best for permanent installations in patch panels, high-density racks, or situations where cables will rarely be moved. The slim profile maximizes port density and allows adjacent port connections.
- Booted: Better for cables that will be frequently plugged/unplugged, as the boot provides strain relief and protects the locking tab from damage.
The stranded bare copper construction provides excellent flexibility for routing in tight spaces and around corners. The 24 AWG gauge balances performance with flexibility, making these cables ideal for professional installations where both signal quality and cable management are important.
In high-density environments, using non-booted cables can significantly increase the number of connections possible in the same physical space, making them a preferred choice for data centers, server rooms, and network closets with limited rack space.
Color-coded options help maintain organization even in dense installations, allowing you to visually distinguish different network segments, VLANs, or connection types at a glance.
