Stretches from the front counter to a back storeroom, or out past the driveway to a gate monitor.
Condition: New

Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 20M is available at Mascom International for KSh 2,000, brand new and sealed, with RJ45 plugs fitted on both ends and ready to use. The Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable carries Gigabit Ethernet across its full 20 metres, is rated to 250MHz, and sits well inside the 55-metre limit for 10 Gigabit links on capable equipment. Pick one up at our store in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery. Twenty metres covers many single-floor office runs in one piece, with no joints.
Built for small business owners, school IT staff, landlords and CCTV installers across Kenya, the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 20M solves a common problem: the router sits in one corner and the device that needs a steady link sits far away. Wi-Fi weakens through concrete walls, and a gate camera on weak signal freezes just when you need footage. A single 20-metre run fixes that. Lay it along the skirting to the far desk, up through the ceiling to an access point, or out to the gate camera, and the device gets the full speed your Safaricom or Zuku fibre line delivers.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell only short leads and leave you to crimp your own long runs, Mascom International keeps eight ready-made lengths of the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable, from 1 metre to 25 metres. Buying the length you need saves you a crimping tool, loose plugs and the risk of a badly made end. Customers across Nairobi tell us the 20-metre length is the one they reach for when wiring a new shop in Industrial Area or a reception desk in Westlands.

Common Questions About the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable
How much is the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 20M in Kenya?
The Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 20M costs KSh 2,000, brand new, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the full 20-metre cable with RJ45 plugs already fitted on both ends, so you need no tools or extra connectors. It comes with the 6-month warranty, and delivery to all 47 counties is pay-on-arrival. If your run is a little longer, the 25-metre length gives you five extra metres. Measure the route first, then add a couple of metres for bends and corners.
What can I connect with the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 20M?
The Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 20M links any two devices with RJ45 Ethernet ports up to 20 metres apart. Typical jobs include a router in the front office feeding a desktop at the back, a switch in a server cupboard reaching a gate CCTV camera or NVR, and a ceiling access point wired back to the main router. It also suits Android TVs, PS5 and Xbox consoles, IP phones and network printers placed far from the router. Many buyers use one to wire a second room in the same building.
Should I buy the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 20M or the 25-metre length?
Choose the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 20M when your measured route, including bends, comes to 18 metres or less. Both lengths share the same Cat6 rating, plugs and Gigabit speed, so the real difference is reach. The 25-metre length suits runs that climb through a ceiling and drop down a wall, because those detours add metres fast. For routes under about 13 metres, the 15-metre length is the tidier fit. If you are unsure, send us the room layout on WhatsApp.
Does the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 20M support 10 Gigabit speeds?
Yes, the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 20M can carry 10 Gigabit Ethernet when both ends have 10GbE ports, because Cat6 handles 10GbE on runs up to about 55 metres. Most home and office gear in Kenya still runs at 1 Gigabit, which this cable handles across its full length with room to spare. That is more than enough for typical home fibre packages from Safaricom, Zuku or Faiba. The 250MHz rating describes the signal range the cable is built to carry, and it is what lets Cat6 go faster than older Cat5e leads.
Can I run the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 20M outdoors to a gate camera in Kenya?
Yes, many buyers run the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 20M from the house to a gate camera, but protect the outdoor section. This is a patch cable, and we do not claim an outdoor or UV rating for it, so pass the exposed stretch through PVC conduit or trunking. That keeps off the strong sun in places like Garissa and Kitui, heavy downpours during the long rains, and dust along murram roads. A PoE camera draws power from your PoE switch or injector over the same cable. Keep both plugs sheltered.
Is a 20-metre Ethernet cable better than a Wi-Fi extender?
For a fixed device, a 20-metre Cat6 run usually beats a Wi-Fi extender because walls, interference and neighbours' networks do not affect the cable. Many extenders lose speed on the extra hop and need their own power socket, which goes dead during a KPLC outage unless it sits on a UPS. The Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 20M needs no power at all, so if your router and device run on a small UPS, the link stays up. An extender still makes sense for phones and laptops that move around the house.
How do I install the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 20M neatly across an office?
Plan the route, measure it with a tape, and add two metres for corners before laying the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 20M. Run it along skirting boards in clip-on trunking, or above a suspended ceiling, keeping it away from power cables where you can. Avoid sharp bends, crushing it under doors, or stapling through the jacket, because damage to the twisted pairs inside slows the link. Since the plugs are already fitted, drill holes wide enough for an RJ45 head to pass through. Label both ends so your IT person can trace it later.
Who should buy the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 20M, and who should skip it?
Buy the Net Power Cat6 Patch Cable 20M if you need one wired link between points about 12 to 18 metres apart, such as a back office, a gate camera or a ceiling access point. Skip it for desk-to-wall connections, where the 1-metre, 2-metre or 3-metre lengths stay tidy. Skip it too if your route passes 100 metres, since Ethernet loses reliability beyond that and you would need a switch partway or fibre. Renters who cannot drill walls may prefer a mesh Wi-Fi kit, and installers wiring a whole building may want bulk cable.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Network Performance
- Cat6 category rating — the cable meets the Cat6 standard for twisted-pair Ethernet, a step above the Cat5e leads in many older offices.
- Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 metres — 1,000Mbps across the full 20 metres, faster than typical home fibre packages in Kenya today.
- 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to about 55 metres — at 20 metres, 10GbE works when the switch and computer both carry 10GbE ports.
- 250MHz rated bandwidth — the frequency range the cable is designed to carry; higher than Cat5e, which leaves headroom for faster links.
- Full-duplex wired link — data travels both ways at once, so large uploads to cloud storage do not slow your downloads.
- No signal loss through walls — unlike Wi-Fi, a wired link keeps its speed through concrete, steel doors and crowded radio channels.
- Low, steady latency — suits video calls, online gaming and live CCTV viewing, where delays and stutters are most noticeable.
Compatibility
- Any RJ45 Ethernet port — fits routers, switches, modems, desktops, laptops, NVRs, IP cameras, access points and network printers.
- Backward compatible with Cat5e equipment — older 100Mbps and Gigabit ports work normally; the link runs at the slower device's speed.
- Fibre routers from Safaricom, Zuku, Faiba and other providers — plug one end into any free LAN port on the router.
- PoE devices — power from a PoE switch or injector travels on the same cable to compatible cameras, phones and access points.
- Gaming consoles and TVs — connects PS5, Xbox Series consoles and Android TVs for quicker downloads and steadier streaming than weak Wi-Fi.
- Laptops without an Ethernet port — pair it with a USB or USB-C Ethernet adapter, sold separately at Mascom International.
- No drivers or setup — the operating system detects the wired connection as soon as both plugs click into place.
Build and Connectors
- RJ45 plug on each end — the standard eight-pin Ethernet connector, already fitted so the cable works straight out of the pack.
- Locking clip on each plug — the small tab clicks into the port and stops the cable pulling loose when bumped.
- Twisted-pair design — wire pairs twisted together inside the jacket cut interference from nearby electrical cables and equipment.
- Outer jacket — bends around door frames and corners; keep curves gentle so the pairs inside are not kinked.
- Straight-through wiring — the patch-cable standard for linking a computer, camera or access point to a router or switch.
- Patch-cable construction — meant for indoor routes; for an outdoor section, run it through conduit or trunking against sun and rain.
Inclusions and Length
- 20 metres long — enough for a typical single-floor office, a climb to a ceiling access point, or a house-to-gate run.
- One continuous cable — a single unbroken piece, so there is no coupler halfway that can work loose or collect dust.
- Five metres shorter than the 25-metre length — pick 20 metres when your measured route, with bends, stays under about 18 metres.
- Part of an eight-length family — Mascom International stocks the same cable from 1 metre to 25 metres for every job.
- Ready to use — no tools, no crimping and no testing needed; plug in both ends and the link lights come on.
- Colour — confirm the colour in stock on WhatsApp before ordering if it needs to match your walls or trunking.
- 6-month warranty — covered at the Mascom International service desk in Nairobi CBD, as set out below.
