Cat 6 patch cable for wired networks

This Belkin Category 6 cable carries 100 Base-T and Gigabit Ethernet traffic over a 50 ft run. Gold-plated contacts and improved return loss help keep the link stable for desktop PCs, switches and routers.

Snagless boots protect the RJ45 tabs

The moulded strain relief stops the locking tab from catching on neighbouring cables during routing. Firm push until the click seats both male connectors; no tools or punch-down work are required.

Suits fixed runs between rack or wall ports

The half-hundred-foot length reaches across rooms or through trunking where shorter leads fall short. Buyers needing a compact patch lead for a crowded switch panel or a pre-terminated fibre link should choose a different cable.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the cable is delivering the 40 percent return-loss improvement after installation?

Compare network error counters before and after swapping in the cable; a measurable drop in CRC or frame errors indicates the 40 percent return-loss gain is active.

What comes in the box and do I need any extra connectors or tools?

The box contains the 50 ft Cat 6 patch cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends; no additional connectors or tools are required for a standard Ethernet link.

Which version should I choose — Cat 5e or this Cat 6 — for a 100 Base-T or Gigabit Ethernet network?

Choose this Cat 6 cable; it is specified for 100 Base-T and Gigabit Ethernet and improves return loss by 40 percent over older categories.
