10 ft Cat 6 patch cable

This Belkin TAA980-10-BLK-S cable provides a 10 ft Category 6 connection with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. Gold-plated contacts and a stranded conductor design support reliable data transfer. The snagless boot protects the locking tabs during installation and removal. It is TAA compliant and covered by a lifetime limited warranty.

Suited for standard Gigabit runs

The 10 ft length fits typical desk-to-switch or patch-panel connections in home and office networks. Builders needing longer spans, in-wall rated jackets, or shielded construction for high-interference environments should consider other cable types. The stranded wire makes it flexible for frequent moves but less suited for permanent solid-core installations.

Fits straight into any RJ-45 port

No tools or special adapters are required; the cable plugs directly into routers, switches, PCs, and wall plates. The snagless design frees up clearance around crowded ports by preventing tab damage. Gold plating helps maintain signal integrity over the cable's lifetime without extra maintenance.

Questions about this item

Will the 10 ft length reach from my router to a desktop across the room?

The cable measures 10 ft end to end, so measure the path between your router and the device to confirm it covers the distance with slack for routing.

Can I plug this Cat 6 cable into the older Cat 5e ports on my existing switch and PC?

Yes, the RJ-45 connectors are backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 5 ports, so the cable will work with your current hardware at the speeds those ports support.

How can I verify the gold-plated RJ-45 ends are seated correctly after I connect them?

Push each connector until the snagless tab clicks into the port, then check the link lights on both devices — solid or blinking LEDs confirm an active gigabit link.
