The Cable Leader 6in Cat6 Non-Booted Ethernet Cable (LAN / RJ45 Network Patch Cable) delivers a fast, reliable Gigabit wired connection in blue, with a non-booted plug built for dense, space-constrained installs.
Built to the Cat6 standard and tested to 550MHz, it supports Gigabit Ethernet (and 10G over short runs) and is fully backward compatible with Cat5e for a drop-in upgrade.
The non-booted design is the point: without a molded boot over the connector, the plug seats easily in tightly packed patch panels and keystone jacks, improves airflow, and keeps high-density runs tidy.
Each cable uses 24AWG bare copper conductors in 4 twisted pairs, terminated with 8P8C RJ45 plugs featuring 50-micron gold-plated contacts for dependable, corrosion-resistant connections.
Use it across data centers, server rooms, offices and structured cabling with routers, switches, patch panels, keystone jacks, PCs and PoE devices.
Available across the C6102 family in multiple lengths and colors. RoHS compliant; UL, cUL & ETL listed. Backed by the Cable Leader Lifetime Warranty.

FAQ
Q: What is a non-booted cable for?
A: Without a boot over the plug it seats easily in dense patch panels and keystone jacks and improves airflow.
Q: How fast is this cable?
A: Gigabit on the Cat6 standard (tested to 550MHz), 10G over short runs, backward compatible with Cat5e.
Q: Is it good for data centers?
A: Yes - 24AWG bare copper and a non-booted plug suit high-density structured cabling.
Q: Will it work with my switch and PoE?
A: Yes - RJ45 is backward compatible and supports PoE devices.
Q: Which length and color should I choose?
A: Pick length by run distance; multiple colors help port labeling.
