Cat 6 patch cable for wired networks

This Belkin A3L980-07 is a Category 6 patch cable designed for reliable wired network connections. It features RJ-45 male connectors on both ends and a tough-but-flexible gray jacket. The 7 ft length suits desktop-to-router or patch-panel runs in home and office environments.

For standard Ethernet links, not fibre or long runs

It suits users who need a dependable Cat 6 link for gigabit Ethernet between a computer, switch or router. Builders requiring plenum-rated cable, outdoor burial grade, or lengths beyond 7 ft should look at other cable types. This patch cable is not a crossover cable and does not carry power-over-Ethernet unless the connected equipment provides it.

Cat 6 rating and 7 ft length decide fit

The Category 6 specification supports up to gigabit speeds over this distance, making the rating the key factor for compatibility with modern routers and switches. The fixed 7 ft length determines whether the cable reaches between your devices without excess slack or tension. Verify the required reach before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the RJ-45 connectors on this 7 ft cable fit a standard Gigabit Ethernet port?

Yes, both ends use RJ-45 male plugs that match the standard 8P8C socket found on routers, switches and network cards.

Do I need a crimping tool or punch-down block to install this patch cable?

No, it arrives pre-terminated with RJ-45 plugs on both ends, so you simply push each connector into the port until it clicks.

If the boot on the RJ-45 plug cracks after repeated unplugging, can I replace just the connector?

The cable is factory terminated; replacing a damaged plug requires cutting the end off and crimping a new RJ-45 connector.
