Networking cable Gembird PP6-20M Cable length 20 m

The Gembird PP6-20M Cable length 20 m is a 20-metre CAT6 networking cable designed for reliable wired data transmission in home and office environments. Manufactured with stranded AWG26 conductors and foil shielding, the cable supports stable connections between routers, switches, computers and other network devices while providing flexibility and ease of installation for longer runs.

Advantages

Constructed as a CAT6 patch cord with foil shielding and moulded strain relief, this cable offers a balance of performance and durability for typical Ethernet applications. The stranded AWG26 conductors deliver flexible handling for runs that may require bending or routing through conduits, while the shielded design helps reduce electromagnetic interference in mixed-cable or equipment-dense environments. The 20 m length enables connection across larger rooms or between network cabinets without the need for intermediate repeaters.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches, and networked computers over distances up to 20 m
• Home and small office wired networks
• Temporary or semi-permanent installations requiring flexible cable routing
• Environments where reduced interference is beneficial (shielded runs)

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6
• Conductor type: stranded AWG26
• Shielding: foil shield
• Connector type: 8P8C (RJ45) moulded plugs with strain relief
• Contact plating: 50 µin (approx. 50 microinch) gold plating on contacts
• Length: 20 m

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring connectors are fully inserted into 8P8C (RJ45) ports until they click into place. Avoid sharp bends and heavy compression that could damage the internal conductors or shielding; maintain a gentle bend radius when routing through cable trays or along walls. For best signal integrity, keep the cable separated from high-voltage power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. If installing permanently, secure the cable with appropriate clips or ties without overtightening.

Usage recommendations

Use this CAT6 shielded patch cord for typical Gigabit Ethernet and lower-frequency networking tasks where flexibility and resistance to interference are important. For runs beyond 20 m or for fixed, concealed in-wall installations, consider verifying local codes and using solid-conductor in-wall rated cables or additional network infrastructure as appropriate.
