Cables To Go 00855 20 ft Cat6 Snagless Shielded (STP) network ethernet cable Red

20 ft Cat6 Shielded Patch Cable

The Cables To Go 00855 is a 20 ft Category 6 shielded patch cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. It uses stranded conductors and a snagless boot design for flexible routing and easy insertion. The red jacket provides quick visual identification in dense patch panels or rack environments. Suitable for network devices requiring a shielded twisted-pair link.

Shielding and Length Constraints

Shielded twisted-pair construction reduces electromagnetic interference in electrically noisy areas such as server rooms or industrial cabinets. The 20 ft length fits typical rack-to-rack or patch-panel-to-switch runs without excess slack. Longer runs beyond the Category 6 channel limit will require additional infrastructure not addressed by this single cable. The stranded design supports repeated moves but is not rated for in-wall or plenum installation.

Gold-Plated Contacts Decide Fit

The connectors feature gold-over-nickel plating to resist corrosion and maintain low contact resistance over the cable's service life. This plating is the specification that determines whether the cable will mate reliably with the target ports in humid or high-cycle environments. Buyers who need unshielded UTP cable, a different jacket colour, or a non-snagless boot should select another part.
