Cat 6 patch cable for gigabit networks

This Cat 6 patch cable connects two RJ45 ports for data, voice and video distribution. The 20 ft red cable supports stable performance up to 550 MHz. Snagless moulded boots protect the connectors during installation and removal. It suits home and office gigabit Ethernet runs.

Ideal for fixed gigabit links.

Buyers who need Cat 6a, Cat 7 or Cat 8 bandwidth should choose a higher-category cable. Installations requiring plenum-rated or outdoor jackets need a different cable type. The fixed 20 ft length may not suit runs that are significantly shorter or longer.

20 ft length determines reach

The cable is exactly 20 ft long, which sets the maximum distance between the two connected devices. Measure the required run before ordering to confirm this length fits the installation. No other length is offered for this model.

Questions about this item

What type of network ports must my devices have to use this cable?

Both devices need RJ45 ports, which is the standard connector on most routers, switches and PC network cards.

Will this Cat 6 cable work with my older Cat 5e router and switch?

Yes, it is backwards compatible; the link will simply run at the maximum speed the older equipment supports.

How can I confirm the cable is functioning correctly after I plug it in?

Check that the link lights on both ports illuminate and run a speed test to verify gigabit throughput.
