Belkin A3L980B14-BLK-S 14 ft Cat6 snagless RJ45 network ethernet cable

Network cable for gigabit and 100Base-T links

This Belkin Cat6 patch cable is built for workstations, servers and network switches that need reliable 100Base-T or gigabit Ethernet connections. The 14 ft length suits rack-to-patch-panel runs or desktop-to-wall-port links without excess slack. Gold-plated contacts and snagless boots protect the RJ45 tabs during frequent moves or dense cabinet installs.

Fits standard RJ45 ports

Both ends terminate in RJ45 male plugs that seat directly into any standard Ethernet jack on a motherboard, switch, router or wall outlet. The cable is unshielded, so it routes easily through cable managers and tight pathways without the stiffness of foil or braid. Swapping out older Cat5 cables removes the 100Base-T bottleneck and cuts return loss by 40 percent, freeing headroom for full gigabit throughput.

Consistent signal quality over the full run

The Cat6-rated construction is tested to meet Category 6 performance requirements, delivering improved transmission performance and superior immunity from external noise across the entire 14 ft span. Fewer retransmissions and fewer lost packets mean sustained throughput stays steady during large file transfers, backups or streaming workloads rather than dropping after a short burst. The 50-micron gold plating resists oxidation, keeping contact resistance low over long-term use.
