Seven-foot Cat 6 patch cable

The Belkin A3L980B07-RED-S is a seven-foot Category 6 patch cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. Its red jacket makes it easy to identify in a crowded rack or behind a desk. The snagless boots protect the locking tabs during repeated insertion and removal. It is sold as a single unit for straightforward network connections.

Home and office wired links

This cable suits anyone wiring a router, switch, or PC where a short, unshielded Cat 6 run is required. Builders needing shielded cable for high-interference environments should look elsewhere. Installers who require plenum-rated jackets for in-wall routing must choose a different product. Users wanting longer reach will need a cable with greater length.

Consistent throughput on short runs

Because the run is only seven feet, signal attenuation stays minimal and the cable delivers stable gigabit throughput under continuous load. The unshielded construction remains reliable in typical indoor settings without nearby power cables. No performance degradation appears during sustained file transfers or streaming sessions.

Questions about this item

What devices need an RJ-45 port to use this Cat 6 patch cable?

Any network device with an RJ-45 female jack — routers, switches, PCs, NAS units, printers or IP cameras — will accept the male connectors on both ends of this 7 ft cable.

Will this unshielded Cat 6 cable work reliably alongside older Cat 5e runs in the same rack?

Yes. The Cat 6 specification is backward compatible with Cat 5e, so mixing this 7 ft red patch cable with existing Cat 5e cabling will not cause connectivity issues.

How can I verify the snagless boots are protecting the tabs after I plug it in?

After insertion, the moulded boots should cover the RJ-45 locking tabs completely; a gentle tug on the cable should not release the connector, confirming the snagless feature is engaged.
