20ft Cat 6 cable for 10Gbps networks

This 20ft Cat 6 ethernet cable supports data rates up to 10Gbps and a frequency of 550 MHz. It is built with a 24 AWG bare copper core and gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The cord suits home, office and data-centre links where a reliable wired connection is preferred over wireless.

Snagless boots and strain relief for daily handling

Snagless boots protect the locking tabs during frequent insertion and removal, while strain-relief moulding reduces stress on the conductor joints. The RJ45 connectors mate with standard ports on PCs, servers, printers, routers and other LAN equipment. Backward compatibility lets the cable operate on existing Cat 5 infrastructure without rewiring.

TIA/EIA 568-C.2 compliance and gold-plated contacts

The cable meets or exceeds the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Category 6 standard, giving assurance of consistent performance across the full 20ft length. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation to maintain low resistance over time. No additional software or accessories are bundled; the product is a single ready-to-use network cord.
