Product Information

Full details

The Cablenet 20m Cat6 Patch Lead is designed for IT professionals and home network enthusiasts who require a reliable, long-distance connection for high-speed data transmission. This cable delivers robust performance for standard Ethernet networking and supports Power over Ethernet (PoE++) applications, making it ideal for connecting distant devices like IP cameras or access points. A primary caveat to note is that at a 20-meter length, proper cable management is essential to prevent tangling or signal interference caused by sharp bends.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

This cable features a PVC jacket and is designed primarily for indoor networking environments.

Does this support Gigabit Ethernet?

Yes, as a Cat6 cable, it is fully capable of supporting Gigabit and even 10GBASE-T over shorter distances, though performance may vary depending on your total network infrastructure.

Can I trim the cable to a shorter length?

While technically possible, cutting the cable requires specialized tools, new RJ45 connectors, and professional crimping equipment. It is recommended to use the cable at its original length.

What does U/UTP mean?

U/UTP stands for Unshielded/Unshielded Twisted Pair, meaning the internal wire pairs are not individually shielded, which keeps the cable flexible and cost-effective for standard office and home use.

Is the cable plenum rated?

This cable uses a standard PVC jacket and is not specified as plenum-rated. Check your local building codes if you plan to install this in ceiling or wall spaces.

Can I use this with older Cat5 equipment?

Yes, Cat6 cables are backward compatible with Cat5 and Cat5e networking equipment.

Troubleshooting

No network connection detected

Ensure both RJ45 connectors are fully seated in the ports. Check the activity lights on your switch or router to verify a link is established.

Slow or intermittent data speeds

Check for sharp kinks or deep bends in the 20m run. If the cable is bundled with power cables, try moving it to a separate path to reduce interference.

PoE device not powering on

Verify that your switch or power injector supports the PoE++ (4PPoE) standard and that the device requiring power is correctly configured.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports high-speed networking and PoE++
  • High-quality construction with stranded copper
  • Flush moulded boot prevents connector stress
  • Vibrant orange color for easy cable identification
  • Verified against international networking standards

Cons

  • 20-meter length requires organized cable management
  • Unshielded (U/UTP) design may be susceptible to EMI in high-interference environments
  • PVC jacket is designed primarily for indoor use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your connection, simply insert the RJ45 male connector into any standard networking port until you hear a click. For care, ensure the cable is not pulled tight during installation, as this can put unnecessary stress on the moulded boots. Avoid bending the cable at angles sharper than four times the outer diameter to preserve the internal wire structure. Keep the connections clean by using a dry, lint-free cloth if dust accumulates, and always ensure the cable is unplugged before performing any maintenance. This cable is fully compatible with any device using an RJ45 Ethernet port, including routers, switches, VoIP phones, and smart home hubs.
