20 ft Purple Cat6 Ethernet Cable

This 20-foot Cat6 patch cable provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with Power over Ethernet support. The purple jacket allows quick visual identification in crowded network conduits or raceways. It suits installers who need a single, pre-terminated link for office runs or patch-panel work. It is not for buyers who need shielded cable for high-interference environments or runs exceeding the specified distance.

Snagless RJ45 Connectors with Molded Boots

Snagless clips protect the RJ45 tabs from catching during routing, while molded boots supply strain relief at each termination point. The design reduces the chance of broken latches that cause intermittent links. Installation is straightforward: push each connector until it clicks. No special tools are required, though tight conduit bends may still stress the jacket if pulled with excessive force.

250 MHz Bandwidth and 24 AWG Copper Conductors

The cable is rated to 250 MHz and uses 24 AWG stranded 100% copper conductors, enabling Multi-Gigabit speeds up to 10 Gbps at distances up to 160 ft. This bandwidth figure determines whether the cord meets the performance tier your switch and NIC require. It is not for networks that demand Cat6a or Cat7 certification for guaranteed 10 Gbps operation beyond 160 ft.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the cable is delivering Multi Gigabit speeds after I connect it?

Check the link speed shown by your router, switch or computer network adapter — it should report 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps depending on the connected equipment and the 20 ft run.

What comes with the N6PATCH20PL and is anything else required to use it?

The box contains the 20 ft purple Cat6 patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors on both ends; no additional parts are needed — just plug each end into an RJ45 port.

Which length and colour version of this Cat6 cable should I pick for a 20-foot purple run?

Choose the N6PATCH20PL model — it is the 20 ft purple variant; other lengths and colours carry different part numbers.
