20 ft Cat 6 patch cable

This 20 ft Cat 6 patch cable connects routers, switches and PCs with RJ45 plugs on each end. The grey jacket is snagless and moulded for strain relief. It meets category 6 cabling standards and is rated for gigabit speeds. The copper conductors reduce impedance and structural return loss compared with standard 100 MHz wire.

Home and office network runs

The cable suits home offices, small businesses and any gigabit Ethernet link up to 20 ft. It works with Cat 6, Cat 5e and Cat 5 ports. Builders who need longer runs, plenum-rated jackets or shielded construction should look at other products. Installers requiring colour-coded bundles for cable management may prefer a different hue.

Snagless moulded boots and grey colour

The snagless moulded boots protect the locking tabs during frequent reconnects and tight routing. The grey jacket helps identify the cable in a crowded rack or behind a desk. No additional software, adapters or mounting hardware are included in the package.

Questions about this item

Which ports do my router and PC need so this 20 ft Cat 6 cable can connect them?

Both devices need an RJ45 port; the cable has RJ45 plugs on each end and is wired for Cat 6 performance.

Will this gray patch cord work with my older Cat 5e wall jack and 100 Mbps switch?

Yes, the Cat 6 cable is backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 5 links, so it will carry traffic at the speed the older equipment supports.

How can I confirm the link is running at gigabit speed after I plug it in?

Check the connection status on your computer or switch; a 1 Gbps link indication shows the cable is operating at its rated Cat 6 capability.
