1 ft Cat6 patch cable

This Belkin A3L980-01-S is a one-foot Category 6 UTP patch cable terminated with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. The grey, snagless, moulded boots protect the locking tabs during repeated insertion and removal. It is built for 100 Base-T and Gigabit Ethernet networks.

Suits short rack or desk links; not for longer runs

The 1 ft length fits tight switch-to-panel or device-to-wall-plate connections inside a cabinet or on a bench. Buyers who need to span rooms, cross floors or reach distant outlets should choose a longer cable. The unshielded construction also makes it unsuitable for environments with heavy electromagnetic interference.

Simple plug-in; watch the bend radius

Installation is a straight push of each RJ45 plug until the tab clicks, requiring no tools or drivers. The snagless boot eases removal in dense patches. The main risk is kinking the solid-core conductors if the cable is bent tighter than the manufacturer’s minimum radius, which can degrade Category 6 performance.

Questions about this item

What RJ45 ports do I need on my router and PC for this 1 ft Cat6 cable?

Both devices need standard RJ45 Ethernet ports; the cable has male RJ45 connectors on each end.

Will this Cat6 patch cable work with my older 100 Base-T switch?

Yes, it is designed for 100 Base-T and Gigabit Ethernet networks, so it works with older 100 Mbps hardware.

How can I verify the snagless boots are protecting the clips after I plug it in?

The molded snagless boots cover the RJ45 locking tabs; you can feel they stay secure when inserted and release cleanly when pressed.
