Ideal for short gigabit links

This Belkin Cat 6 patch cable connects two RJ45 ports over a two-foot run. The snagless boots protect the locking tabs during frequent moves. It suits home offices, lab benches or rack patches where a tidy, low-profile link is needed.

Unshielded UTP construction

The four twisted pairs are unshielded, keeping the cable light and flexible for routing through tight cable-management channels. Cat 6 performance supports 100Base-T and gigabit Ethernet with improved return loss over older Cat 5 cables. No external power or active electronics are involved.

Replaces Cat 5 runs that limit speed

Swap out Cat 5 patch cords that cannot carry 100Base-T or gigabit traffic and the link will run at the higher rate without further changes. The jump is worth it whenever the switch and NIC both negotiate gigabit but the old cable holds them back.

Questions about this item

How do I install the snagless RJ45 connectors on the Belkin A3L980-02-BLU-S without damaging the tabs?

Press the RJ45 plug straight into the port until the snagless tab clicks securely; the moulded boot protects the latch during insertion and removal.

Will the Cat6 UTP cable need replacement if I upgrade to a shielded network environment?

The unshielded twisted-pair design suits standard Cat6 links; only a move to high-EMI areas would require a shielded cable instead.

At what distance does the 2 ft length limit signal integrity for 100Base-T or gigabit Ethernet?

At 2 ft the patch lead is well within the 100 m channel limit, so length will not be the limiting factor for either speed.
