15 ft Cat 6 patch cable

This Belkin A3L980-15-BLU-S is a 15 ft Category 6 UTP patch cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. It uses copper conductors inside a blue PVC jacket and includes snagless molded strain relief to protect the connector tabs during installation. The cable is PowerSum tested and rated for Gigabit Ethernet performance. It suits home or office networks needing a reliable wired link.

Check port type and run length

Verify that your router, switch, PC or other network device has a standard RJ-45 port before ordering. Ensure the 15 ft length reaches between your devices without excessive slack or tension. This cable is unshielded, so avoid routing it parallel to power cables or fluorescent lighting where interference could degrade signal quality. Confirm that your existing infrastructure uses Cat 5 or Cat 5e wiring that this cable can upgrade.

Replaces Cat 5 cables limiting speed

Use this cable to replace any Cat 5 patch lead that cannot support 100 Base-T or Gigabit Ethernet throughput. The upgrade is worth it when you need the full bandwidth of a Gigabit connection across a 15 ft run. It is not suited for installations requiring shielded cabling, outdoor burial, or runs longer than the supplied length. Buyers needing plenum-rated jackets or crossover wiring should select a different product.

Questions about this item

What connectors come on the cable and is anything else needed to use it?

The cable has RJ-45 male connectors on both ends so it plugs straight into a router, switch or PC. No extra parts are required.

Should I choose the 15 ft blue version or a different length or colour?

Pick the 15 ft blue model when the run between devices is about 4.5 metres and you want the blue jacket for easy identification.

What does the Cat 6 rating mean for actual throughput on my network?

Cat 6 supports Gigabit Ethernet and 100 Base-T, so the cable can carry 1 Gbps traffic without the bottlenecks seen on older Cat 5 links.
