Cable Leader 20ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable Blue 24AWG 550MHz

Ready-to-run Cat6 patch cable

This 20ft blue Cat6 patch cable arrives terminated with RJ45 connectors on both ends so you can plug it straight into a router, switch, console or PC. The stranded 24AWG bare copper construction keeps the cable flexible for routing around corners or through cable management channels. It is rated to 550MHz, well above the 250MHz Cat6 baseline, and supports Gigabit Ethernet with 10G capability over short runs. The clear snagless boot protects the locking clip during frequent moves.

Check your port spacing and run length

Verify that the device you are connecting has a standard 8P8C RJ45 jack and that the clear boot will not interfere with adjacent ports on a dense switch or router. The 20ft length suits typical desk-to-wall or rack-to-rack runs; measure the exact path to avoid excess slack or tension on the connector. Because the cable is unshielded UTP, keep the run away from strong EMI sources such as power bricks or fluorescent ballasts. Ensure your existing infrastructure is at least Cat5e so the link negotiates at Gigabit speeds.

Gold contacts and snagless boot for daily use

Each plug uses 50-micron gold-plated Triplex contacts across all 8 positions to resist corrosion and maintain low contact resistance over repeated insertions. The transparent snagless boot shields the locking tab so it will not catch on neighbouring cables when you pull the cable through a bundle. Nine colour options in the C6117 family let you colour-code ports by device type or VLAN for faster troubleshooting. The cable carries RoHS, UL and ETL verification marks.
