100 ft Cat6 cable for gigabit networks

This 100 ft blue Cat6 Ethernet cable from Belkin is built for wired LAN connections that need gigabit throughput. Snagless boots protect the RJ45 tabs during routing, and 50-micron gold-plated contacts maintain low-resistance mating over repeated insertions.

Replaces Cat5 links limited to 100Base-T

The cable upgrades runs still using Cat5, which cannot carry 100Base-T or gigabit Ethernet. Installers gain headroom for 1 Gbps switches and NICs without pulling new conduit, and the 40 percent return-loss improvement reduces retransmissions on existing hardware.

Consistent signal quality over the full 100 ft

Category 6 construction keeps crosstalk and attenuation within spec across the entire 100 ft length, so throughput stays stable during sustained file transfers or streaming sessions. The snagless mold prevents latch damage that would otherwise degrade contact force over time.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the 100 ft blue Cat6 cable need behind a patch panel or wall plate?

The cable has standard RJ45 male connectors on both ends; allow enough depth for the boot and snagless mold so the tab does not catch when you route the 100 ft run.

How do I install the Belkin A3L980-100-BLUS without damaging the RJ45 tab?

Push the connector straight in until the snagless mold clicks; the mold protects the tab, so do not angle or force the plug during the 100 ft installation.

When should I replace this Cat6 cable?

Replace it if the gold-plated contacts show wear, the snagless mold cracks, or the cable no longer supports gigabit speeds after long-term use.
