Belkin Cat 6 Snagless Ethernet Cable

This 75 ft blue cable connects routers, switches and computers using RJ45 plugs on both ends. It is built for Cat 6 performance with 24 AWG bare stranded copper conductors and 50 micron gold-plated contacts. The snagless mould protects the locking tab during installation and removal.

Impedance and conductor specifications

Characteristic impedance is rated at 100±15 Ω from 1 to 550 MHz, supporting clean signal transmission. Conductor resistance is specified at 93.8 Ω/km at 20 °C maximum. These electrical parameters help reduce return loss by 40 percent compared with older Cat 5 cables.

Build integration and upgrade path

The snagless design prevents tab breakage when routing through tight cable management channels or patch panels. Gold-plated connectors resist oxidation for long-term reliability in permanent installations. This cable replaces Cat 5 links that cannot handle 100Base-T or gigabit Ethernet speeds.

Questions about this item

How do I route the 75 ft Cat 6 cable without snapping the RJ45 tabs?

The snagless mould covers the latch, so pull the cable by the boot, not the tab, and avoid tight bends that exceed the stranded 24 AWG pair's minimum bend radius.

Will the 50 micron gold-plated contacts need cleaning or replacement over time?

Gold resists oxidation, so no scheduled cleaning is required; only replace the cable if the connector housing cracks or the latch fails to click.

At what point does the 93.8 Ω/km conductor resistance limit the 75 ft run under sustained gigabit traffic?

At 75 ft the loop resistance stays well within the Cat 6 channel budget, so the 550 MHz impedance spec is the first limit, not DC resistance.
