DDS / DPC-LSZHC6BC20M / UTP Patch Cord LSZH 20M Cat6
Extra-Long Fire-Safe Cat6 Patch Cord for Extended Reach
The DDS / DPC-LSZHC6BC20M / UTP Patch Cord LSZH 20M Cat6 is a premium, fire-safe extra-long Cat6 patch cord from DDS — engineered for structured cabling installations in hospitals, schools, data centres, public buildings, and any indoor environment where Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) compliance is a mandatory safety requirement. Constructed from 24 AWG stranded bare copper with moulded RJ45 plugs at each end, this Category 6 patch cord delivers full Class E performance — supporting 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet and 250 MHz bandwidth across the full 20-metre length. Furthermore, the 20 M length addresses deployment scenarios where running new horizontal cabling is impractical or cost-prohibitive — including temporary network extensions, commissioning links, direct connections across large open-plan offices, and cross-room equipment connectivity. Consequently, network engineers and installers gain a reliable, fire-safe solution for extended reach without the cost, time, or disruption of re-cabling an entire zone.
LSZH Jacket — Fire Safety Across Every Metre
The LSZH outer jacket is the critical differentiator of the DDS / DPC-LSZHC6BC20M from standard PVC patch cords. In the event of a fire, the LSZH compound emits minimal smoke and releases zero toxic halogen gases — protecting building occupants, first responders, and sensitive electronic equipment across the full 20-metre cable run in enclosed spaces such as cable risers, open-plan offices, and server rooms. Additionally, LSZH compliance satisfies mandatory requirements under many national and international building codes for medical, educational, hospitality, and commercial premises. Moreover, using an LSZH-jacketed patch cord on a long run — where the cable may pass through multiple rooms or zones — ensures that every metre of the connection path meets fire safety regulations. Therefore, building inspections and project compliance sign-offs proceed without complications regardless of the cable routing.
Flexible Long-Run Construction
The 24 AWG stranded bare copper construction ensures the 20-metre cord remains manageable and flexible — resisting kinking, tangling, and conductor fatigue even after repeated routing and repositioning across wide spaces. Furthermore, the cord supports both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, ensuring universal pin-out compatibility across all standard patch panels, keystone jacks, and active switch ports. Additionally, the snag-resistant moulded RJ45 boots at both ends protect the latch mechanism during repeated insertions and removals. Whether you are extending network reach across a large open-plan office, connecting equipment in a wide production hall, bridging two distant racks during commissioning, or running a temporary network link at a medical facility, the DDS / DPC-LSZHC6BC20M / UTP Patch Cord LSZH 20M Cat6 delivers the fire safety, reach, and electrical performance your project demands.
