Belkin Cat 6 patch cable, six inches

This Belkin A3L980-06IN-S is a Category 6 UTP patch cord built with stranded copper conductors and a grey PVC jacket. It terminates in RJ45 plugs fitted with 50-micron gold-plated contacts and moulded strain relief. The snagless boot protects the release tab during frequent insertion and removal. It suits installers who need a short, reliable link between two RJ45 ports.

Fits tight spaces between stacked devices

At six inches long, the cable bridges patch-panel rows, switch-to-router hops or server-NIC connections without excess slack. The unshielded design keeps the diameter small so it routes cleanly through dense cable managers. Stranded conductors tolerate the repeated flexing that occurs when equipment is slid on rails. It requires only standard RJ45 jacks on both ends.

Maintains Cat 6 performance under continuous traffic

The 50-micron gold plating resists oxidation that can degrade signal integrity over months of constant data flow. Moulded strain relief prevents conductor fatigue where the cable meets the plug, a common failure point in permanent installations. UTP construction meets Cat 6 electrical specs for sustained gigabit throughput without the grounding complications of shielded alternatives.

Questions about this item

How long is this Cat 6 patch cable?

The cable measures 6 in. end to end, suited for tight rack or desktop links.

Does the PVC jacket or the gold-plated contacts add noticeable heat during constant data transfer?

Passive copper conductors and a thin PVC jacket generate no measurable heat under normal network loads.

What devices must already have RJ45 ports for this cable to work?

Any two devices with standard RJ45 Ethernet jacks — routers, switches, PCs, or patch panels — will connect directly.
