Belkin Cat 6 20 ft Ethernet Cable

This Belkin Cat 6 patch cable measures 20 ft and uses UTP stranded copper wires with RJ45 connectors on both ends. It meets the Cat 6 standard and supports network speeds up to 1000 Mbps. The 50-micron gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for a clean signal. Molded strain relief and a durable PVC jacket protect the internal wiring during daily use.

Suited for wired LAN connections up to 1 Gbps

Home office users, hotel guests, and anyone linking a PC, laptop, or console to a router, modem, or wall outlet will find the length and Cat 6 rating practical. Builders who need shielded cabling for high-interference environments or runs exceeding 20 ft should look at alternative solutions. The unshielded design also limits suitability for installations requiring grounded foil or braid protection.

Handles 100/1000BASE-T

Four twisted pairs of 24 AWG copper carry full-duplex gigabit throughput with reduced crosstalk compared to Cat 5. Internal load bars keep plug geometry consistent for reliable performance at the rated speed. The 20 ft reach covers typical room-scale runs, but longer segments or 10 GbE uplinks will exceed the cable's specified category distance and bandwidth limits.

Questions about this item

What network ports must my devices have to use this cable?

Each end of the cable uses an RJ45 plug, so both devices need an RJ45 Ethernet port such as those on a router, modem, wall outlet or network card.

Will this Cat 6 cable work with my older Cat 5e router and gigabit switch?

Yes. The cable meets the Cat 6 standard and is backward compatible, so it will run at up to 1000 Mbps on your existing Cat 5e and gigabit equipment.

How can I verify the link is running at gigabit speed after I plug it in?

Check the connection status on your computer or router; it should show a 1 Gbps or 1000 Mbps link rate when the cable is seated correctly.
