Seven-foot Cat 6 patch cable

This Belkin A3L980-07-BLU cable connects computers, routers, switches or other network devices using standard RJ45 plugs on both ends. It is built for home or office LAN links and internet connections where a reliable wired link is preferred over wireless.

Rated for 100-1000BASE-T speeds

The Cat 6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet up to 1000 Mbps, so the cable will not bottleneck typical broadband or local file transfers. Four twisted pairs of stranded copper reduce crosstalk, and 50-micron gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for consistent signal quality over time.

Seven-foot fixed length

The 7 ft reach suits desktop-to-wall-plate or patch-panel runs; it cannot be shortened or extended without adding couplers. Buyers who need longer runs, in-wall rated jackets or pre-terminated trunk cables should choose a different product.

Questions about this item

How do I decide between the available lengths for this Belkin Cat 6 cable?

The A3L980-07-BLU is a single 7 ft model; choose it when a seven-foot run matches the distance between your router, switch or wall jack and the device you are connecting.

What real-world speed will I see from a Cat 6 cable rated for 1000BASE-T?

It supports gigabit Ethernet up to 1000 Mbps, so actual throughput will reach near 1 Gbps on a 1000BASE-T network provided the switch, router and network card also operate at gigabit speed.

Does the RJ45 connector limit the cable to a specific Ethernet standard?

The RJ45 plugs with 50-micron gold-plated contacts are built for 100-1000BASE-T networks, capping the link at gigabit Ethernet while maintaining full Cat 6 performance over the 7 ft length.
