Ethernet patchcord cable QOLTEC CAT6 20 m, UTP, 2×RJ-45, 1 Gb/s, gold-plated contacts

QOLTEC CAT6 20 m UTP patchcord is a 20-metre Ethernet cable with two RJ-45 connectors and gold-plated contacts, designed to deliver reliable wired connectivity for home and business networks. The cable meets CAT6 performance expectations for Gigabit Ethernet, using unshielded twisted pair wiring to transmit data up to 1 Gb/s over typical LAN distances. It is intended for direct connections between switches, routers, network interface cards and other Ethernet devices where a fixed, low-latency connection is required.

Advantages

The QOLTEC CAT6 patchcord offers stable Gigabit performance with minimized contact resistance thanks to gold-plated connector contacts. Its CAT6-grade twisted pair construction reduces crosstalk and preserves signal integrity at 1 Gb/s speeds. The 20 m length provides flexibility for wiring across rooms or connecting equipment in data closets without intermediate couplers. The cable is terminated with standard RJ-45 plugs for universal compatibility with Ethernet ports.

Suitable for

• Wired LAN connections between switches, routers and PCs
• Home networking and multimedia streaming setups
• Office networks and desktop workstations
• Patch panels and data closet horizontal runs
• Temporary or permanent Ethernet runs where 20 m length is required

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of the source device (for example a router or switch) and the other RJ-45 plug to the destination device (for example a PC or another switch). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, tight kinks and sources of electromagnetic interference such as large power transformers. For best performance, maintain separation from high-voltage cables and avoid excessive cable stretching.

Usage recommendations

For stable Gigabit operation, verify network equipment supports 1 Gb/s on the relevant ports and use appropriate link negotiation settings. When routing the cable through racks or conduits, allow for service loops and avoid compressing RJ-45 connectors. Replace the cable if visible damage to the jacket or connectors appears to prevent reliable connections.
