At 20 metres it suits longer cable routes where you need to reach across a room or between floors without joining shorter leads together. The cable carries 100\/1000Base-T ethernet, so it handles both standard and gigabit connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the lead uses solid 24AWG copper clad aluminium in a twisted pair layout, which keeps the signal stable and helps cut down on interference along the run. The four twisted pairs measure 0.51mm each, and the overall cable diameter comes in at 5mm, keeping it slim enough to route along skirting or through cable clips. It is rated for transmission at GHz speed, so it keeps pace with modern home and office networking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the UK this is usually called a patch lead, while in the US you will often see the same product listed as a patch cable or patch cord. Whatever the name, the job is the same: a ready-made link that saves you crimping your own connectors. Shorter lengths in the range arrive in a sealed retail bag, and this 20 metre option gives you plenty of reach for wiring up a fixed network setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.37KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.0m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCore diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 x 2 x 0.51mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat connectors does this lead use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a standard RJ45 plug at each end, so it plugs straight into routers, switches, network cards and most other ethernet ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat network speeds does it support?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lead carries 100\/1000Base-T ethernet, covering both 100Mbps and gigabit connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is this lead?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version is 20 metres, which suits longer runs between rooms or floors without needing to join shorter leads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the cable made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt uses solid 24AWG copper clad aluminium in a twisted pair layout, with four pairs and an overall diameter of 5mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a shielded cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, this is a UTP (unshielded twisted pair) lead, which is the common choice for standard home and office networking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between a patch lead and a patch cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are the same thing.
