5 ft Cat 6 Ethernet Cable

The Belkin A3L980-05-WHT-S is a Category 6 patch cable measuring 5 ft with a white PVC jacket. It terminates in RJ45 male connectors on both ends and features snagless moulds that protect the locking tabs during installation. Gold-plated contacts are specified to maintain clear signal transmission.

Home and office patching

This cable suits anyone replacing older CAT5 links that cannot handle gigabit Ethernet or 100Base-T traffic. It is not for installers who need shielded cabling for high-interference environments, nor for runs that require plenum-rated jackets or lengths beyond 5 ft.

Category 6 performance rating

The Cat 6 rating determines whether the cable meets the bandwidth and crosstalk requirements for your network infrastructure. Belkin highlights a 40 percent return-loss improvement over CAT5 and 50-micron gold-plated connectors as the key specifications supporting that rating.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the Cat 6 cable is delivering gigabit speeds after I plug it in?

Check the link lights on both ports — a solid 1 Gbps indicator means the cable is operating at its rated performance.

Does the 5 ft white Cat 6 cable come with any extra connectors or do I need to buy RJ45 plugs separately?

Both ends already have gold-plated RJ-45 male connectors and snagless boots; nothing else is required for a standard Ethernet connection.

Should I choose the 5 ft white version or a different length for a short desk-to-router run?

The 5 ft length is suited for close-range links; select a longer cable only if the distance between devices exceeds five feet.
