20 ft Cat 6 Ethernet Cable

This 20 ft Cat 6 network cable connects routers, switches and computers using RJ45 connectors at each end. The orange jacket makes it easy to identify in a busy rack or behind a desk. It is built for standard Gigabit Ethernet installations in home or office networks.

Sustained Signal Performance

The cable is rated for a characteristic impedance of 100±15 Ω from 1 to 550 MHz, keeping signal integrity stable over long runs. Bare stranded copper conductors with a resistance of 93.8 Ω/km at 20 °C limit attenuation during continuous data transfer. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation so throughput does not degrade with repeated mating cycles.

Unshielded 24 AWG Construction

This cable uses unshielded 24 AWG twisted pairs, which keeps it flexible for routing through tight spaces. Installers who need shielded cable for high-EMI environments or outdoor burial should select a different product. The snagless boot protects the latch during frequent plugging and unplugging.

Questions about this item

Does the 24 AWG stranded copper generate noticeable heat when the cable runs at full 550 MHz bandwidth all day?

The bare stranded 24 AWG copper conductors have a maximum resistance of 93.8 Ω/km at 20 °C, so heat rise during continuous gigabit traffic is negligible for a 20 ft run.

My router and switch both have standard RJ45 ports — is anything else required to use this cable?

No extra adapters or tools are needed; both ends terminate in 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 plugs that seat directly into any standard Ethernet port.

Will the Cat 6 rating and 100 ± 15 Ω impedance work reliably with my older Cat 5e patch panel and 100 Mbps devices?

Yes — the cable is fully backward compatible; its Cat 6 specification and controlled 100 ± 15 Ω impedance interoperate with Cat 5e infrastructure and 100 Mbps equipment without configuration.
