  • Product typeWireless
  • 20 metre length spans rooms or floors without joins

20-metre Cat6 UTP patch cable

This 20-metre Cat6 unshielded twisted-pair cable terminates in RJ45 plugs for wired gigabit Ethernet links. It suits home offices, small-business networks and anyone extending a router or switch to a desktop, NAS or smart TV. The blue jacket aids cable identification in busy racks or under desks.

Verify device ports and routing path

Confirm that both endpoints present standard RJ45 sockets and that the 20-metre run can be routed without sharp bends or pinch points. Check that your router, switch or wall plate supports gigabit speeds so the cable’s rating is fully utilised. Ensure the path avoids power cables or fluorescent ballasts that could induce interference on an unshielded pair.

Replaces shorter or lower-category cords

Swapping a Cat5e or shorter patch lead for this 20-metre Cat6 link removes length limits and raises the bandwidth ceiling to gigabit. The upgrade is worthwhile when a device sits beyond the reach of existing cables or when intermittent drops suggest a worn or under-specified cord.
