20 ft Cat6A patch cable for 10 GbE runs

This 20-foot shielded Category 6A patch cable uses 26 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors and 50 µm gold-plated RJ45 contacts. It is rated for 550 MHz bandwidth and supports 10 GbE over the full length. The snagless boot protects the retaining clip during repeated insertions.

Check port spacing and cable routing before ordering

The shielded construction adds bulk compared to unshielded cords, so verify that adjacent ports have enough clearance for the thicker jacket. Ensure the 20-foot length reaches between your switch, router or wall outlet and the device without excessive slack or tension. Confirm the equipment uses standard RJ45 jacks.

Replaces Cat5e or Cat6 cords when 10 GbE is required

The jump is worth it when upgrading a link to 10 GbE or when shielding is needed in electrically noisy environments. It is not for buyers who need longer runs beyond 100 metres, fibre links, or cables rated for in-wall plenum installations.

Questions about this item

Does the 20 ft blue Cat6A cable arrive with anything beyond the RJ45 ends already fitted?

The cable is supplied as a finished 20 ft patch lead with snagless boots and 50 µm gold-plated RJ45 plugs on both ends; no extra connectors, tools or wall plates are included.

When should I pick the 20 ft blue version instead of a shorter or longer length?

Choose the 20 ft blue cable when the run between your router, switch or device and the wall outlet measures roughly 20 ft; shorter lengths reduce slack, longer lengths add reach.

What does the 550 MHz rating mean for actual 10 Gbps throughput in my network?

The 550 MHz bandwidth meets the Cat6A specification, supporting 10 Gbps Ethernet over the full 20 ft length when connected to 10 GbE ports.
