Ready-made patch cable

The Belkin A3L980-20-PUR-S is a 20 ft Category 6 UTP patch cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. A snagless, moulded boot protects the latch during repeated insertions. The purple jacket makes the cable easy to identify in a busy rack or behind a desk. It arrives new and carries the manufacturer's lifetime warranty.

Home and office runs

Suits anyone wiring a router, switch, PC, printer or access point within a single room where an unshielded 20 ft purple lead is convenient. Not suited for installers who need bulk reel cable, shielded construction for noisy environments, or a different length or colour to match an existing colour-code scheme.

Cat 6 unshielded specification

The single deciding spec is the Category 6 unshielded twisted-pair rating, which defines the crosstalk and bandwidth limits for the link. If your project requires Cat 6a, Cat 7 or shielded cabling, this cable does not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Does the unshielded Cat 6 cable generate heat or draw extra power when running continuously?

The cable is passive with no active components, so it produces no measurable heat and consumes no power regardless of how long it stays connected.

What devices must already have RJ45 ports for this patch cable to work?

Both ends use standard RJ45 male connectors, so any router, switch, PC, NAS or other network gear with an RJ45 jack will accept it directly.

Will the snagless moulded boots fit alongside older Cat 5e cables in a crowded patch panel?

Yes, the snagless moulded boots are sized to the same RJ45 footprint as Cat 5e plugs, so they sit side by side in dense panels without interference.
