Cat 6 Patch Cable 50 ft

The Belkin A3L980-50-PUR-S is a Category 6 UTP patch cable designed for wired network connections. It uses RJ45 male-to-male connectors with snagless molded strain relief. The 50 ft length suits runs between rooms or across office floors. It replaces older Cat 5 cables that cannot support 100 Base-T or Gigabit Ethernet speeds.

Home and Office Network Links

This cable suits anyone extending a wired connection to a desktop, smart TV, printer or switch where Wi-Fi is unreliable. The purple jacket helps identify the run in a crowded patch panel. It is not for buyers who need shielded cabling for high-interference environments. Installers requiring plenum-rated jackets for air-handling spaces should look elsewhere.

Unshielded Twisted Pair Construction

The single specification that decides fit is the unshielded UTP design. It meets Cat 6 performance for Gigabit Ethernet without the bulk or grounding requirements of shielded cable. If your installation demands foil or braid shielding to meet local code or reject EMI, this cable will not satisfy that requirement.

Questions about this item

Does the 50 ft purple Cat 6 cable come with both RJ45 connectors already attached, or do I need to buy plugs separately?

Both RJ45 connectors are factory-fitted to the 50 ft cable, so nothing extra is required for a standard connection.

When should I choose this 50 ft purple Cat 6 cable instead of a shorter or differently coloured version?

Choose the 50 ft length when the router and device are far apart, and pick purple if you want colour-coded runs for easy identification.

What does the Cat 6 rating mean for a 50 ft run in a home or office network?

The Cat 6 rating supports 100 Base-T and Gigabit Ethernet over the full 50 ft with reduced crosstalk compared with Cat 5.
