20 ft Cat6 Purple Patch Cable

This 20 ft purple Cat6 patch cable connects network devices with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It uses 24 AWG stranded 100% copper conductors and a molded UTP design. The cable is UL rated under E132276-A and ETL verified for safety compliance.

Cat6 bandwidth and distance limits

Cat6 supports multi-gigabit speeds of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps at a 250 MHz bandwidth rating. The 10 Gbps rate is specified up to 160 ft, so this 20 ft length operates well within that limit. Performance at longer runs or higher frequencies is not guaranteed by the standard.

Check connector and power needs

Verify that both endpoints have standard RJ45 ports and that the cable’s 20 ft reach suits your routing path. The cable supports 100W Power over Ethernet for compatible devices. Ensure your switch, router or injector and the powered device both negotiate the same PoE class.
