What this cable does

The Belkin A3L980-50-YLW-S is a Category 6 UTP patch cable built for wired Ethernet connections. It links routers, switches, computers and other RJ45-equipped devices in home or office networks. The yellow jacket makes the run easy to identify among other cabling. It is not for builders who need shielded cable for high-interference environments or runs that require a different length.

The specification that decides fit

This cable carries a Cat 6 rating with unshielded twisted-pair construction and RJ45 male connectors on both ends. The 50 ft length sets the maximum distance for a single drop without adding a switch or extender. Snagless moulded boots protect the locking tabs during repeated insertion and removal. Buyers who need shielded cable or a different category rating should look elsewhere.

Installing and common issues

Press each RJ45 plug into the port until the tab clicks; the snagless boot reduces the chance of a broken latch when pulling the cable free. The moulded strain relief helps prevent wire fatigue at the connector junction. The most common problem is a tab that snaps off after many cycles, leaving the plug loose in the port. Avoid sharp bends and heavy loads on the cable to maintain performance.

Questions about this item

What real-world speed will I see from this Cat 6 cable at 50 ft?

Cat 6 is rated for gigabit Ethernet; at 50 ft you get full gigabit throughput with headroom for higher speeds over short runs

Does the RJ45 connector limit the cable to a specific Ethernet standard?

The RJ45 plugs work with Cat 5e, Cat 6 and Cat 6a ports, so the cable runs at whatever standard the connected equipment supports

Will the snagless boots and 50 ft length fit through standard trunking and wall plates?

The moulded snagless boots are sized for standard RJ45 cut-outs and the 50 ft length pulls through typical conduit and trunking used for patch cables
