Patch cable for short copper runs

This 20 ft Cat 6 patch cable uses RJ45 connectors on both ends. The orange jacket makes it easy to identify in a crowded rack or cable tray. Molded boots with a snagless profile protect the latch during frequent insertions.

Suited for desk or rack patching

Installers connecting switches, routers, wall plates or end devices at distances up to 20 ft will find the length convenient. Builders who need longer horizontal runs, plenum-rated jackets or outdoor-rated sheathing should select a different cable type.

Cat 6 rating and 20 ft length decide fit

The Category 6 specification supports gigabit ethernet over this distance without additional hardware. If the link requires a longer single segment or a different fire rating, this cable will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Does the 20 ft Cat 6 cable run warm or draw noticeable power during continuous use?

Passive copper cables like this 20 ft Cat 6 patch cord generate no heat and consume no power of their own; only the connected devices use electricity.

What equipment must I already have to use this RJ45 patch cable?

You need two devices with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports — such as a router, switch, PC or NAS — to plug each end of the cable into.

Will the staggered-pin RJ45 connectors mate reliably with older Cat 5 and Cat 5e ports I still use?

Yes, the RJ45 plugs follow the same pinout and dimensions as earlier categories, so they fit and function in Cat 5 and Cat 5e jacks without issue.
