Ready for Gigabit networks

This Cat6 patch cable supports data rates up to 1000 Mbps and is tested to 550 MHz, making it suitable for 10/100/1000Base-T and 10GBase-T installations. It meets or exceeds EIA/TIA 568B requirements for structured wiring in homes and offices. The 20 ft length fits typical desk-to-wall or rack-to-panel runs without excess slack.

Snagless RJ45 connectors and flexible jacket

Moulded snagless boots protect the locking tabs from catching during routing or removal, reducing the chance of broken clips that cause intermittent links. A stranded CCA conductor construction keeps the cable pliable for tight bends behind furniture or inside trunking. The tangle-resistant jacket simplifies cable management and helps maintain a tidy installation.

Unshielded twisted-pair build for indoor use

Four unshielded twisted pairs deliver reliable performance in environments without significant electromagnetic interference. Blue colour coding aids quick identification among other patch leads in a cabinet or floor box. Backward compatibility with Cat5 and Cat5e equipment ensures the cable works with existing switches, routers, consoles and PCs without configuration changes.

Questions about this item

Will the CCA conductors need replacing sooner than solid copper on a 20 ft run?

The cable uses 4 stranded CCA (copper-clad aluminium) conductors tested to 550 MHz and meets EIA/TIA 568B; lifespan depends on installation environment and bend radius, not on the CCA material itself.

What limit appears first when the link runs at 1000 Mbps continuously?

The 550 MHz bandwidth ceiling and CCA resistance set the practical ceiling; the cable is rated for 1000Base-T and tested to 550 MHz, so sustained gigabit traffic stays within spec.

Does the 20 ft patch cable get warm or draw extra power on an all-day 10GBase-T link?

Passive copper cables draw no power and generate negligible heat; the 550 MHz rating and CCA construction keep insertion loss within Cat 6 limits for the full 20 ft length.
