6 ft Cat 6 patch cable

The Belkin A3L980-06-RED-S is a Category 6 unshielded twisted-pair cable fitted with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It measures six feet and uses a red PVC jacket for easy identification in a rack or along a skirting board. Moulded strain relief and snagless boots protect the locking tabs during repeated insertion and removal.

Home and office wired connections

This cable suits anyone linking a computer, console, smart TV, printer or access point to a router, switch or wall outlet where a short red run keeps cabling tidy. It is not intended for outdoor burial, direct sunlight, or installations that require shielded or plenum-rated cable to meet building codes.

Cat 6 performance rating

The Category 6 rating defines the bandwidth and crosstalk limits that determine whether the link can carry gigabit and multi-gigabit traffic reliably. Verify that your network equipment and wiring standard match this category before installing.

FeaturesHow does a Cat 6 patch cable affect your network?
It's like when you replace one blocked pipe in your plumbing line and suddenly the flow increases, the transfer is more fluid and the whole system is improved.
The RJ45 High Performance Category 6 UTP Patch Cable is the perfect performance upgrade.
It is used to replace any Cat 5 cable that fails to support 100 Base-T or Gigabit Ethernet, and comes with RJ45 male-to-male connectors and a snagless molded strain relief.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 6 ft red Cat 6 cable or a different length or colour?

Pick the 6 ft length when the router and device are close together; choose a longer cable only if the run needs more slack, and select red if you want colour-coded runs.

What does the Cat 6 rating mean for my actual connection speed?

Cat 6 is designed for Gigabit Ethernet so the link will run at the full 1 Gbps your ports negotiate.

What interface do the RJ45 connectors use and what speed does it cap at?

The RJ45 plugs carry standard twisted-pair Ethernet and cap at the Gigabit rate of the connected ports.
