Belkin A3L980-02-WHT-S 2 ft Cat 6 network ethernet cable White

SKU CH-H3Y4-5SNCE MPN A3L980-02-WHT-S

A 2 ft Cat 6 patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors and 50-micron gold-plated contacts for gigabit Ethernet

  • TypeOthers
  • Cat6
  • Connector ARJ45
  • Connector BRJ45
  • Length2 ft.
  • ColorWhite
  • Cat 6 rating supports gigabit Ethernet speeds
  • 2 ft length fits short-run desktop connections
  • Snagless mould protects RJ45 tab during installation
  • 50-micron gold-plated connectors ensure clear transmissions
  • 40 percent return-loss improvement over CAT5 cables

Ideal for short Cat 6 patch runs

This Belkin Cat 6 cable measures 2 ft and uses RJ45 connectors at both ends. It is designed for structured cabling infrastructure and suits home offices or rack patches where a white, unshielded lead keeps the link tidy. The snagless mould protects the RJ45 tab during repeated insertion and removal.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

Passive copper construction means the cable draws no power and generates no heat or noise. Gold-plated contacts rated at 50-micron thickness maintain low contact resistance, supporting clean signal integrity across the link. Improved immunity from external noise reduces retransmissions and lost packets during everyday traffic.

Replaces Cat 5 links that cannot handle 100Base-T

Swapping older Cat 5 cables for this Cat 6 model improves return loss by 40 percent, making the upgrade worthwhile when moving to 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps Ethernet. It is not for runs that require shielding, longer lengths, or higher category ratings such as Cat 6a or Cat 7.

Questions about this item

How do I install the snagless RJ45 connectors on the Belkin A3L980-02-WHT-S without damaging the locking tab?

Push the connector straight into the port until the snagless mold clicks securely; the molded boot protects the RJ45 tab from catching during insertion or removal.

What maintenance or replacement will the Belkin Cat 6 cable need over time?

Inspect the gold-plated contacts and snagless boots periodically; replace the cable if the locking tab breaks or the jacket shows cuts that expose the internal pairs.

What is the first performance limit reached on a 2 ft Cat 6 run under sustained gigabit traffic?

The 2 ft length stays well within the 100 m Cat 6 channel limit, so sustained gigabit throughput is maintained without hitting distance-related signal degradation.
