Ready-to-use Cat 6 patch cable

This nine-foot Belkin cable arrives terminated with RJ-45 plugs on both ends so it works straight from the packet. The blue jacket makes it easy to trace in a busy rack or behind a desk. Snagless boots protect the locking tabs during repeated insertion and removal. Molded strain relief guards the solder joints against everyday flexing.

Ideal for fixed desktop or wall-plate links

Home-office users and small-business installers who need a reliable drop from a switch to a PC, printer or access point will find the length practical. Builders running cable through trunking or under floorboards should choose a reel of solid-core cable instead, as this stranded patch cord is not rated for in-wall installation. Anyone needing shielded construction for high-EMI environments must select a different product.

Category 6 unshielded twisted pair

The cable meets Cat 6 performance specifications for gigabit Ethernet and supports the higher-frequency signalling that standard requires. Unshielded twisted-pair construction keeps the diameter slim for tight routing. Lifetime limited warranty from the manufacturer backs the build quality.

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 pick the 9 ft blue Cat 6 cable or a different length for my desk run?

Choose the 9 ft blue Cat 6 patch cable when the distance between your router, switch or wall jack and the device is roughly that length; it uses unshielded twisted pair with RJ45 male ends on both sides.

What does Cat 6 mean for my actual wired connection?

A Cat 6 patch cable is built to tighter crosstalk and return-loss limits than Cat 5e, so it maintains reliable gigabit ethernet performance across the full 9 ft run without signal degradation.

The cable has RJ45 connectors — what does that cap in practice?

RJ45 male connectors on both ends plug directly into standard ethernet ports on routers, switches, PCs and NAS devices, limiting the link to the speed and duplex negotiated by those ports.
