Belkin 5 ft CAT6 Snagless Patch Cable

This 5 ft orange patch cable uses Category 6 construction with RJ45 plugs on both ends. Four twisted pairs of stranded copper wire carry 100-1000BASE-T traffic between switches, routers and network cards. The 50-micron gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for a stable connection. A snagless boot protects the latch during repeated insertion and removal.

Suited for home and office Gigabit links

Builders wiring desks, wall plates or patch panels at Gigabit speeds will find the length and category match the task. The stranded conductors make the cable flexible for tight bends behind furniture. Installers who need shielded cable, plenum rating or longer runs without joins should look at a different specification.

Category 6 rating for 100-1000BASE-T

The single specification that decides fit is the CAT6 rating, which supports 100-1000BASE-T networks up to the cable’s 5 ft length. If the network operates at that speed class the cable meets the requirement; if the infrastructure demands a higher category the cable will not satisfy it.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 5 ft orange cable or a different length and colour?

The 5 ft orange version suits short desktop runs; choose another length only if the distance between devices is longer.

What does the CAT6 rating deliver on a 1000BASE-T link?

CAT6 supports full gigabit throughput on 1000BASE-T networks with headroom for crosstalk margins.

How does the RJ45 connector with 50-micron gold plating affect the connection?

Gold-plated RJ45 pins resist oxidation and maintain low contact resistance for reliable gigabit speeds.
