5 ft Cat 6 patch cable

The Belkin A3L980-05-RED-S is a 5 ft Category 6 patch cable terminated with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. It is built for standard twisted-pair networking and carries a red jacket for easy identification in a rack or desk run. The cable weighs approximately 2.24 oz.

Suits short desktop or patch-panel links

This length works well for connecting a workstation, VoIP phone or access point to a nearby wall jack or switch port. Builders who need longer horizontal runs, in-wall rated jackets or colour-coded bundles for a structured cabling project should look at other options.

Tested to exceed 500 MHz bandwidth

The cable is performance tested to exceed 500 MHz, supporting the full Cat 6 frequency range for gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet. That verified headroom is the specification that confirms the link will handle current and near-future speed requirements.
