30 ft Cat 6 patch cable

The Belkin A3L980-30-YLW-S is a 30 ft Category 6 UTP patch cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. It uses copper conductors and a snagless boot design to protect the locking tabs during installation. The yellow jacket provides easy visual identification in dense cable runs. It suits home offices, small businesses or anyone extending a wired network connection up to 30 ft.

Sustained throughput with cross-talk control

A 2-row staggered pin configuration and an internal load bar keep pair geometry stable at hyper-frequency, limiting cross-talk during continuous data streams. PowerSum testing verifies that the cable meets Cat 6 performance parameters across all four pairs simultaneously. The unshielded construction relies on precise twist ratios rather than foil or braid to maintain signal integrity over the full length.

Upgrades from Cat 5e or damaged leads

This cable replaces older Cat 5e patch cords or worn cables where snagged tabs cause intermittent links. The jump is worth it when you need the headroom for gigabit speeds over longer runs or when a snagless boot prevents future connector damage. It does not serve runs that require shielded cable for high-EMI environments or installations needing plenum-rated jackets.

Questions about this item

Does the 30 ft Cat 6 cable generate any heat or noise when running data all day?

No, the passive copper conductors and unshielded UTP design produce no heat or audible noise during continuous operation.

What devices must I already have to use the RJ-45 Male connectors on this cable?

You need two pieces of equipment with standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports such as a router, switch, PC or NAS.

Will the Cat 6 specification and 2-row staggered pin configuration work with my older Cat 5e patch panel?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible and will negotiate the highest speed both ends support.
