What it is

This Belkin Cat 6 UTP patch cable carries data between two RJ45 ports. The two-foot yellow cord is unshielded and fitted with snagless moulded strain relief on both ends. It suits home-office desks, patch-panel links or any short run where a Cat 5 cable cannot deliver the required throughput.

Practical limits of Cat 6

Cat 6 supports 100 Base-T and Gigabit Ethernet over short copper runs. The standard does not guarantee 10 Gigabit speeds at this length; those rates require Cat 6a or higher. Buyers who need 10 Gbit/s across the same distance should select a different cable category.

Deciding specification

The two-foot length is the single figure that determines fit. Measure the exact gap between your switch and device before ordering; a cord that is too short cannot be extended without adding a coupler, which adds insertion loss.

Questions about this item

Which length should I pick for a short desktop run?

The 2 ft version reaches between devices on the same desk without excess cable coiled behind the monitor.

What does the Cat 6 rating deliver in a real setup?

It supports 100 Base-T and Gigabit Ethernet so the link runs at full line speed instead of dropping to 100 Mbps.

How does the RJ45 connector limit the connection?

The RJ45 male-to-male plugs fit standard Ethernet ports and cap the link at the Cat 6 channel specification.
