Description
This AV:Link Cat6 patch lead connects your network kit with an RJ45 plug at each end. It runs 20 metres, giving you plenty of reach between rooms or across a larger space. The cable is unshielded twisted pair (UTP) and carries stranded copper conductors made up of 7 strands at 0.18mm each, rated at 25AWG. The overall cable diameter is 6.0mm, so it stays flexible and easy to route.
We've built these leads to handle frequencies up to 250 MHz, which supports high-speed data transmission of up to 1,000Mbps (1Gbps). That makes them a good fit for gigabit networks and everyday tasks like streaming, gaming and moving large files. The snag-less moulded boot protects the retaining clip, so the plug won't catch or snap off when you pull the cable through tight spaces or unplug it.
You can use this patch lead with PCs, printers, servers, routers, switch boxes and more, and it stays fully backwards compatible with your existing network. The Cat6 design gives you uniform impedance, very low return loss and a higher signal-to-noise ratio, so your connection stays steady. Note that a patch lead is the same thing as a patch cable, and RJ45 is the standard connector you'll find on most network gear. Shorter lengths in this range come in a sealed retail bag.

Frequently Asked
What length is this cable?
This lead is 20 metres long, with an RJ45 plug at each end.
What speed does it support?
It supports data transmission of up to 1,000Mbps (1Gbps) and frequencies up to 250 MHz.
Is it shielded?
No, it's an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. It uses stranded copper conductors rated at 25AWG.
What can I connect with it?
It works with PCs, printers, servers, routers, switch boxes and similar network kit, and stays backwards compatible with older gear.
What does snag-less mean?
The moulded boot covers the retaining clip so it won't catch or break when you route or unplug the cable.
Is a patch lead the same as a patch cable?
Yes, patch lead and patch cable are two names for the same thing. RJ45 is the connector on each end.
