20 ft Cat 6 Patch Cable

This 20 ft Cat 6 Ethernet cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors. It is built for Gigabit and Multi-Gigabit links up to 5 Gbps at this length and supports 10 Gbps runs up to 160 ft. The CMG-rated PVC jacket suits general-purpose indoor installations.

Before connecting

Verify that both endpoints have standard RJ-45 ports and that a 20 ft run fits the intended path. The T568B wiring matches typical patch-panel and switch configurations. Confirm the connected equipment can negotiate the desired speed up to 5 Gbps for this distance.

Snagless UTP construction

The unshielded twisted-pair design keeps the cable flexible for routing around corners and through cable managers. Snagless boots protect the connector tabs during repeated insertion and removal. Gold plating resists corrosion on the contact surfaces for reliable long-term connectivity.

Questions about this item

Does the 20 ft Cat 6 cable come with both RJ-45 connectors already attached or do I need to buy plugs separately?

The cable arrives with 1 x RJ-45 Male on each end, gold-plated and snagless, so no separate connectors are required.

Should I choose the 20 ft length or a different length for a 10 Gbps run up to 160 ft?

At 20 ft you are well within the 160 ft limit for 10 Gbps, so this length works; pick a longer cable only if the physical distance demands it.

What does the 500 MHz rating mean for actual throughput on my 2.5 Gbps switch?

The 500 MHz bandwidth supports 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps signals over the full 20 ft with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors.
