What this cable is

This Belkin Category 6 patch cord connects two RJ-45 ports over a twenty-foot run. It is built for home or small-office networks that need a reliable wired link between a router, switch, PC or smart device.

The deciding specification

The cable is rated for Category 6 performance, so it supports gigabit Ethernet speeds on existing structured cabling. It is unshielded, which keeps it flexible for desktop routing but offers less noise immunity than shielded alternatives.

Capacity and headroom

At twenty feet it comfortably spans a typical room without excess slack. Runs longer than the rated length or installations in high-interference environments may see reduced throughput or increased packet loss.

Questions about this item

What does the Cat 6 rating mean for real-world network speed on this 20 ft cable?

Cat 6 cabling is designed to support existing structured cabling infrastructure with improved transmission performance and fewer lost packets over this 20 ft length.

What connectors does this cable use and what standard do they follow?

This cable has an RJ-45 male connector on each end, matching the Category 6 specification for twisted-pair Ethernet cabling.

What physical space is needed to route and connect this 20 ft blue cable?

The cable is 20 ft long with standard RJ-45 plugs on both ends, so you need enough clearance for the connectors and the bend radius of the unshielded blue jacket.
