20 ft Cat6 patch cable

This 20-foot Cat6 Ethernet cable provides a wired Gigabit link for desktops, consoles, smart TVs and network switches. The orange jacket and clear snagless boot make port identification simple in home or office racks. Stranded 24 AWG bare copper conductors terminate in 8P8C RJ45 plugs with 50-micron gold-plated contacts.

Cat6 bandwidth ceiling

The cable is tested to 550 MHz, well above the 250 MHz Cat6 minimum, so it reliably carries Gigabit Ethernet and can handle 10 Gbit/s over short runs. It remains fully backward compatible with Cat5e equipment for a drop-in upgrade. Unshielded twisted-pair construction keeps the cable flexible but offers no protection against strong external interference.

Snagless boot and gold contacts

A transparent snagless boot shields the locking clip from catching during routing and keeps the connector profile tidy at the port. Gold-plated Triplex contacts resist corrosion for long-term signal integrity. The unshielded design means installers should avoid running the cable parallel to power lines; it is not suited for outdoor or direct-burial use.

Questions about this item

What length should I pick for a typical room-to-router run?

The 20 ft length reaches from a wall jack across a room to a router or switch without excess slack.

What does the 550 MHz test rating mean for my Gigabit connection?

It confirms the cable exceeds the Cat6 250 MHz minimum, so Gigabit Ethernet runs at full speed with margin for noise.

Will the RJ45 plugs work with my Cat5e patch panel and router ports?

Yes, the 8P8C plugs are fully backward compatible with Cat5e jacks and standard router, switch and console ports.
