Nippon Labs 60CAT6A-20YW Cat6A UTP network ethernet cable 20 ft Yellow

20 ft Cat6A UTP patch cable

This 20 ft Cat6A UTP patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded pure copper conductors with RJ45 connectors on both ends. It is rated for a minimum frequency of 500 MHz and supports 10Base-T through 10,000Base-T Ethernet up to 100 meters. The yellow jacket is CM-type PVC and the wiring follows the T568B standard.

Who this suits, who should look elsewhere

The cable suits installers who need a 20 ft unshielded Cat6A link for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper. It is not for runs longer than 100 meters or for environments that require shielded twisted-pair construction. Buyers who need a different length or a shielded cable should choose another product.

Category 6A performance at 500 MHz

The defining specification is the Cat6A rating with a minimum operating frequency of 500 MHz. This guarantees the bandwidth needed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over the full 100 meter channel. If your network only requires 1 Gigabit speeds, a lower-category cable will also work, but it will not provide the same headroom for 10G operation.
