Belkin Cat 6 Snagless Patch Cable 3 ft

This Belkin A3L980-03-WHT-S is a Category 6 network ethernet cable measuring 3 ft with white snagless RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It is built for patching devices such as computers, routers and switches inside a structured cabling system. Gold-plated contacts at 50 microns help maintain clean signal transmission.

Suited for short Cat 6 links.

The snagless mold protects the locking tab during frequent moves, making it practical for desktop patches and rack connections up to 3 ft. Buyers who need shielded cable for noisy environments or lengths beyond 3 ft should select a different specification.

Cat 6 performance with 40 percent return-loss

The cable meets Category 6 requirements and improves return loss by 40 percent over older CAT5 links, supporting 100Base-T and gigabit Ethernet. This single metric confirms whether the part matches the installed infrastructure standard.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 3 ft Cat 6 cable without breaking the RJ45 tab?

The snagless moulded boots protect the RJ45 latch during insertion; push the connector straight into the port until you hear a click, then route the cable so the boot is not bent sharply at the jack.

Will the 50-micron gold-plated contacts need cleaning or re-plating over time?

The gold plating resists oxidation for the lifetime of the cable; no cleaning or re-plating is required under normal indoor use.

At what length does signal loss first appear on a Cat 6 patch cable like this?

At 3 ft the cable is well within the 100 m Cat 6 channel limit, so attenuation is not the first constraint; the practical limit is the physical reach of the 3 ft length itself.
