What this cable is

The Belkin A3L980-05-BLK is a Category 6 UTP patch cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. It measures five feet long and has a black jacket. The cable supports gigabit Ethernet speeds for wired network connections.

Who this suits and who it does not

This cable suits anyone linking a computer, router, switch or NAS over a short distance. It will not reach between rooms or across a large office. Builders who need longer runs, outdoor-rated jackets or shielded construction should look at a different product.

The specification that decides fit

The five-foot length is the single figure that determines whether this cable works for your layout. Measure the path between your two RJ-45 ports before ordering. If the distance exceeds five feet you will need a longer cable.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 5 ft Cat6 cable and what step do people often miss?

Push each RJ-45 plug firmly into the port until the latch clicks; the step people miss is not hearing that click, leaving the connection loose.

What maintenance or replacement will this Cat6 patch cable need over time?

Inspect the boot and latch for cracks or bent pins; replace the cable if the clip breaks or the jacket shows kinks that affect signal quality.

What limit appears first when this 5 ft Cat6 cable runs at full throughput for long periods?

The 5 ft length keeps attenuation well within Cat6 specs, so the first limit is usually the connected hardware's port speed, not the cable itself.
