Belkin 8 ft Cat6 Snagless Patch Cable

This Belkin A3L980-08-S is an eight-foot Category 6 network cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It uses copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated contacts to deliver clean transmissions for gigabit Ethernet. The snagless boot design protects the connector tab from damage during routine installation and removal.

Suits gigabit LAN runs needing a short gray patch

Builders who require shielded cabling for noisy environments should look elsewhere. Installers needing longer reach for cross-room or patch-panel work will need a different length. The unshielded construction also makes it unsuitable for outdoor or industrial-grade deployments.

Category 6 rating supports gigabit Ethernet speeds

The cable meets Cat 6 performance requirements and improves return loss by 40 percent over older Cat 5 links. It replaces legacy cables that cannot handle 100Base-T or gigabit traffic. This specification is the deciding factor for any network running at 1 Gbps.

Questions about this item

Will this 8 ft Cat6 cable work with my older Cat5 patch panel and 100Base-T switch?

Yes, the Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5 infrastructure and supports 100Base-T and gigabit Ethernet, so it will work with your existing patch panel and switch.

How can I verify the 50-micron gold-plated connectors are making a solid connection after I plug it in?

Check for a firm click when inserting each RJ45 plug, then confirm link lights on both devices and run a speed test to ensure gigabit throughput.

Does the package include any cable ties or mounting clips, or do I need to buy them separately?

The box contains only the 8 ft gray snagless Cat6 patch cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends; cable ties or clips are not included.
