Product Overview
The Belkin CAT6 UTP Patch Cable, model TAA980-50-GRY-S, is an industrial-grade network solution built to support high-speed data transmission across demanding infrastructure environments. This 50-foot gray cable adheres to stringent CAT6 standards, offering enhanced bandwidth and reliable connectivity suitable for gigabit Ethernet networks. Its unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction minimizes crosstalk and ensures signal integrity over long runs without the bulkier shielding found in STP cables.
Designed with two RJ-45 male connectors, the cable supports easy, secure installations for routers, switches, servers, and patch panels. The snagless boot design protects the latch during installations and repeated plug-in cycles, reducing cable wear and data interruptions. Additionally, its TAA compliance makes it suitable for federal government procurement and enterprise-level deployments where regulatory standards are mandated.
Manufactured in the United States, this cable offers excellent build quality with a flexible jacket for easier routing. Whether used in data centers, enterprise offices, or secure military networks, the Belkin CAT6 patch cable provides lasting performance and compliance assurance within mission-critical setups.
