Networking cable Lanberg PCF6A-10CC-2000-R RJ-45 Cat6a 20 m Red

The Lanberg PCF6A-10CC-2000-R RJ-45 Cat6a 20 m Red is a 20-metre network patch cable engineered for high-speed Ethernet connections. It is built to Cat6a specification with S/FTP shielding and features RJ-45 connectors on both ends, providing reliable physical connection and reduced crosstalk in structured cabling environments. The cable’s red outer jacket offers clear visual identification for cable management in racks, patch panels, or office installations.

Advantages

This Cat6a patch cable delivers stable data transmission at higher frequencies than Cat5e/Cat6, supported by S/FTP shielding to limit electromagnetic interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk. The 20 m length covers mid-range installations without additional extensions, while RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices. The visible red colour simplifies tracing and organisation in multi-cable setups.

Suitable for

• 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to supported distances for Cat6a cabling
• Wiring between patch panels, switches and wall outlets in offices or data closets
• Home or small business network runs where a 20 m length is required
• Environments requiring clearly marked cabling for maintenance or segregation

When it may not be suitable

This cable uses copper-clad aluminium (CCA) conductors and is intended for standard network applications; it may not meet the performance or grounding requirements of installations that specifically require pure solid copper conductors. It is also a fixed-length patch cable, so it is not appropriate where custom length or in-wall permanent wiring certified for building codes is needed.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Colour: Red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port of a switch, router or patch panel and the other end to the target device or panel. Route the cable along cable trays or under desks, avoiding tight bends and sources of high electromagnetic interference where possible. Ensure connectors are fully seated into jacks until the latch clicks and verify link/activity LEDs on network equipment to confirm connectivity. For organized installations, label both ends and secure the cable with cable ties or Velcro straps without excessive compression.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length: 20 m fixed length may be longer than needed for some runs
• Conductor type: cable is CCA-based, verify compatibility with your installation requirements
• Intended use: suitable for patching and horizontal connections, not for permanent in-wall installations unless rated for that purpose

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use the Lanberg Cat6a 20 m cable in shielded or mixed cabling environments where reduced interference is beneficial. Test the link after installation and keep the cable away from power lines and strong EMI sources. Use the red colour to mark specific networks or device groups for easier maintenance.
