Category 6 patch cable

The Belkin A3L980-05-PUR-S is a five-foot Category 6 patch cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It suits home and office networks that require Gigabit Ethernet performance over short runs. The purple jacket helps identify this link in a busy patch panel or desk setup.

Snagless boots simplify routing

Snagless moulded boots protect the locking tabs while the cable is pulled through cable trays, underfloor trunking or tight desk grommets. The flexible UTP construction bends easily around corners without kinking, so the connectors seat fully on the first attempt. No special tools or punch-down skills are needed for a standard patch lead.

Stable throughput on long transfers

Category 6 rated conductors maintain consistent signal quality during sustained file transfers, backups or streaming sessions. The twisted-pair geometry resists crosstalk over the full five-foot length, so throughput does not degrade as the link warms up. The cable is not rated for in-wall or outdoor installation, so it should remain in accessible indoor pathways.
