1 ft patch cable for tight runs

The Belkin A3L980-01-BLU-S is a Category 6 UTP patch cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. It suits home and office networks that need a short blue link between a router, switch or wall jack and a desktop, laptop or smart device. The one-foot length keeps slack to a minimum in cramped cabinets or behind furniture.

Cat 6 transmission stability over time

Cabling components are designed and tested to support existing CAT6 structured cabling infrastructure. Improved transmission performance and superior immunity from external noise reduce retransmissions and lost packets during sustained data transfers. The snagless boot protects the latch from catching when cables are routed through dense bundles.

Passive UTP construction runs cool and silent

With no shielding or active electronics the cable draws no power and generates no heat or noise. The blue PVC jacket resists everyday abrasion while the unshielded twisted-pair design keeps the assembly lightweight and flexible for easy dressing along baseboards or through cable trays.

Questions about this item

Does the 1 ft CAT6 cable generate any heat or noise when used continuously?

A passive copper patch cable carries only low-voltage data signals, so it produces no audible noise and no measurable heat during all-day operation.

What devices must I already have to use this RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male cable?

You need two pieces of equipment with standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports — such as a router, switch, PC, NAS, or console — to plug each end into.

Will this CAT6 patch cable work reliably with older CAT5e or CAT5 jacks I still have?

Yes, the RJ-45 connectors are fully backward compatible, so the cable will link at the highest speed both ports support.
