What this cable is and who it's for

This Belkin Cat 6 Ethernet patch cable measures 10 ft and terminates in RJ45 male connectors with 50-micron gold-plated contacts. It uses unshielded twisted-pair 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and meets the Cat 6 standard for structured cabling infrastructure. The black jacket suits home offices, hotel rooms or any location needing a wired link to a wall outlet, modem, router or network device.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

Builders who need a reliable gigabit connection over a short run will find the 10 ft length convenient for desk-to-wall or patch-panel links. The gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and the internal load bars keep plug positioning consistent. Installers requiring shielded cable for noisy environments or runs longer than 10 ft should look elsewhere, as this model is unshielded and fixed at this length.

Capacity and headroom

The cable supports Ethernet speeds up to 1000 Mbps on 100/1000BASE-T networks, using all four twisted pairs for greater bandwidth than Cat 5 designs. Twisted-pair construction reduces crosstalk and external noise, yielding fewer retransmissions and lost packets. At 10 ft it stays well within the 100 m channel limit, so headroom is ample for typical patch-cable duties.

Questions about this item

What devices do I need to connect with the RJ45 plugs on this cable?

You need two devices with RJ45 ports such as a computer, router, modem or wall outlet to link with the cable's connectors.

Will this Cat 6 cable work with my older Cat 5e patch panel and 100BASE-T switch?

Yes, the Cat 6 cable is backward compatible and will operate at 100 megabits per second on 100BASE-T equipment.

How can I verify the cable is delivering gigabit speeds after I plug it in?

Check the link lights on both ports show 1000 megabits per second and run a speed test that reports near 1 gigabit per second throughput.
