Belkin Cat 6 patch cable 30 ft

This Belkin A3L980-30-S is a Category 6 UTP patch cable measuring 30 ft in gray. It terminates in RJ45 connectors on both ends and features snagless molded strain relief. The cable is designed to replace any Cat 5 link that cannot support 100 Base-T or Gigabit Ethernet speeds.

Suits Gigabit desktop and patch-panel links.

Buyers needing shielded cabling for noisy environments should look elsewhere. Installers who require plenum-rated or outdoor-rated jackets will need a different cable type. The 30 ft length suits typical desk-to-switch runs but falls short for longer backbone drops.

Unshielded Cat 6 UTP construction

The single specification that decides fit is the unshielded Cat 6 rating. It delivers the bandwidth for Gigabit Ethernet without the grounding requirements of shielded designs. Verify that your pathway and connectors accept UTP before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the 30 ft Cat 6 cable draw any power or generate heat when running continuously?

No, it is a passive copper patch cable with no active components, so it consumes no power and produces no heat during operation.

What devices must already have RJ45 ports to use this cable?

Any two devices with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports — such as a router, switch, PC, NAS, or game console — will connect directly with the male-to-male plugs.

Will this Cat 6 cable work properly with older Cat 5 or Cat 5e patch panels and wall jacks?

Yes, the RJ45 connectors are fully backward compatible, so the cable will link at the highest speed both ends support, up to Gigabit Ethernet.
