Belkin 8 ft Cat 6 Ethernet Cable

The Belkin A3L980-08-BLK-S is an eight-foot Category 6 patch cable fitted with RJ45 connectors at both ends. It is built for wired network connections between devices such as computers, routers, switches and gaming consoles. The black jacket and moulded, snagless boots protect the locking tabs during repeated insertion and removal. This cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds for home and office networks.

Suited for short runs; not for long distances

This cable suits users who need a reliable, short-length link for a desktop, smart TV, console or access point within the same room. It is not intended for runs that exceed the eight-foot length provided, nor for installations that require in-wall rated jackets, shielded construction or outdoor weatherproofing. Buyers needing longer reach, plenum rating or crossover wiring should look at alternative cable types.

Category 6 UTP specification

The single specification that decides fit is the Category 6 unshielded twisted-pair rating with RJ45 male connectors on each end. This defines the bandwidth capability and connector compatibility for standard Gigabit Ethernet ports. Verify that your equipment uses standard RJ45 jacks and that an eight-foot run meets your layout requirements before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the 8 ft Cat 6 cable work with my older Cat 5e router and switch ports?

Yes, the Cat 6 cable is fully backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 5 equipment, so it will connect to your existing RJ45 ports without any configuration.

How can I verify the cable is performing at Cat 6 speeds after I plug it in?

Run a speed test between two devices linked by the cable; sustained throughput above 1 Gbps confirms the link is operating at Cat 6 capability.

Does the box include only the 8 ft black patch cable or are any extra connectors or tools supplied?

The package contains the single 8 ft snagless moulded RJ45-to-RJ45 patch cable; no additional connectors, couplers or installation tools are included.
