Cat 6 patch cable for short runs

The Belkin A3L980B03-BLK-S is a Category 6 network cable measuring 3 ft with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. Its snagless boot design protects the locking tab during insertion and removal. The black jacket suits rack or desk routing where a compact link is required.

Replaces older Cat 5 or damaged patch leads

Swapping a lower-category or kinked cable for this Cat 6 restores full Gigabit throughput on the segment. The upgrade is worthwhile when the existing lead is the bottleneck between a switch, router or wall port and a desktop, NAS or console.

Suits installers needing a tidy 3 ft link

Builders who need longer runs, crossover wiring or outdoor-rated jackets should look elsewhere. The fixed length also makes it unsuitable for situations where slack management or future repositioning demand extra reach.

FeaturesHow does a Cat 6 patch cable affect your network?
It's like when you replace one blocked pipe in your plumbing line and suddenly the flow increases, the transfer is more fluid and the whole system is improved.
The RJ45 high performance Category 6 UTP patch cable is the perfect performance upgrade.
They are used to replace any Cat 5 cable that fails to support 100BaseT or Gigabit Ethernet.

Questions about this item

Will the RJ45 connectors on this 3 ft Cat 6 cable fit a standard keystone jack?

Yes, both ends use standard RJ45 male plugs that match any keystone jack or network port wired for Cat 6.

How do I avoid damaging the snagless boots when routing the cable through a tight conduit?

Push the connector through first, then feed the 3 ft cable body; the snagless boot protects the latch tab but adds slight bulk, so pull gently.

When should I replace this patch cable if the latch tabs stop clicking?

Replace it once the snagless boots no longer hold the RJ45 plugs firmly in the port, which can cause intermittent Cat 6 link drops.
