Network Cable Sharkoon RJ45 CAT.6 SFTP 20.0m Black

The Sharkoon RJ45 CAT.6 SFTP 20.0m Black network cable provides a 20.0-meter connection that supports high-speed data transfer for wired home and office networks. Constructed with shielded twisted pairs (S/FTP) and robust RJ45 connectors, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to maintain stable throughput and signal integrity over longer distances. The black outer jacket offers durability and a neutral appearance suitable for installation in visible or concealed cable runs.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP construction minimizes external interference and internal pair-to-pair crosstalk, improving performance in environments with nearby electrical equipment or multiple network runs. Its Cat6 specification enables reliable transmission rates suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications. A 20.0 m length permits flexible placement of network devices without additional patching and the durable outer sheath resists everyday wear during installation and use.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in home and small office networks
• Wired Gigabit Ethernet connections for media streaming and file transfers
• Structured cabling runs where reduced interference is required
• Temporary or permanent installations where a 20 m reach is needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 20.0 m
• Connector type: RJ45 (8P8C) on both ends
• Color: Black
• Supports: Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transmission

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector firmly into the corresponding network ports on devices such as routers, switches, or network adapters until a click confirms the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas with strong electromagnetic sources, and secure it with cable ties or clips to prevent strain on the connectors. For best performance, ensure both ends use compatible Cat6-capable network equipment and verify link speed and duplex settings on connected devices if necessary.

Usage recommendations

For optimal signal quality, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for long distances and keep bend radius above the manufacturer’s minimum where possible. Use the cable for Gigabit Ethernet applications and in mixed-equipment environments where shielding can reduce interference. If permanent in-wall installation is required, confirm local building codes and use appropriate in-wall rated cabling if needed.
