Belkin A3L980-35-BLU-S Cat 6 network ethernet cable 35 ft Blue

35 ft Cat 6 patch cable

This 35-foot Category 6 patch cable connects two RJ45 ports with copper conductors and snagless molded strain relief. It is intended for anyone upgrading a link that currently runs on Cat 5 wiring and needs reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance. The blue jacket makes the run easy to identify in a crowded rack or wall plate. Buyers who need a longer permanent installation cable or a different colour should look elsewhere.

Practical limits of the Cat 6 interface

Cat 6 cabling supports 100 Base-T and Gigabit Ethernet speeds over the full 35-foot length without additional equipment. The staggered pin configuration and PowerSum testing help control cross-talk at higher frequencies so the link stays stable at the rated throughput. The snagless boots protect the latch during repeated insertion and removal. Installations that require 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper or runs beyond 100 metres cannot rely on this cable class.

Copper conductor with snagless molded ends

The solid copper conductors and 2-row staggered pin layout are the single specification that determines whether this cable meets the performance target for a Gigabit upgrade. PowerSum testing verifies the cross-talk margin, and the molded strain relief prevents conductor fatigue at the connector. If the project demands shielded construction, plenum rating or a different conductor material, this part will not satisfy those requirements.
