30 ft Category 6 patch cable

This Belkin A3L980-30-RED-S is a 30 ft Category 6 patch cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It uses copper conductors and features a snagless, moulded design in red. The cable suits home or office networks needing a standard unshielded link between routers, switches and devices.

Behaviour over long runs

The unshielded Category 6 construction supports gigabit speeds across the full 30 ft length without the stiffness of shielded alternatives. Snagless boots protect the locking tabs during repeated reconnections, while the moulded strain relief reduces wear at the connector junctions during sustained use.

Deciding specification: 30 ft length

The fixed 30 ft length is the single detail that determines fit; measure the route between endpoints before purchase. Buyers needing a shorter reach or a different colour will find this exact length unsuitable for their layout.

Questions about this item

Does the 30 ft Cat 6 cable generate any heat or draw power during continuous use?

No, the copper patch cable is completely passive and produces no heat or power draw while carrying network traffic.

What devices or ports must I already have to use the RJ45 connectors on this cable?

You need equipment with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports — routers, switches, PCs, NAS units or similar — on both ends of the 30 ft run.

Will the Cat 6 specification work reliably with older Cat 5e or Cat 5 ports I still have in the network?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible and will negotiate the highest speed both connected ports support, up to the Cat 6 rating.
