Belkin Patch Cable 6-Inch CAT 6 UTP (Orange)

The Belkin A3L980-06-ORG-S is a patch cable that measures six inches and meets the CAT 6 standard, making it a simple way to run Gigabit Ethernet between two points that sit close together. By limiting the length, the cable keeps extra slack out of a rack, desktop setup, or wall-mounted network panel, so airflow stays clear and cable management stays tidy.

This model uses an unshielded twisted pair design with stranded bare copper conductors. The conductors resist corrosion and remain flexible, which helps when you need to bend the cable around tight corners or inside crowded enclosures. Each end carries a male RJ-45 connector that is molded with a snagless boot. The boot adds strain relief and prevents the latch from catching on neighboring cables during installation or removal.

Because the cable follows CAT 6 requirements, it supports the bandwidth needed for file sharing, VoIP phones, media streaming devices, and access points that rely on fast, stable throughput. Home users can link a router to a switch on a shelf, while IT technicians can patch a switch port to a panel within the same rack without adding extra loops of cable.

The bright orange jacket improves visibility, so you can trace a specific run quickly when the back of a rack or a desk is packed with cables. At only 0.2 inches in diameter, the cable slides easily through narrow channels and keeps bundles compact.
