Description

Belkin A3L980-02-RED-S Cat 6 Patch Cable

Overview

The Belkin A3L980-02-RED-S is a 2-foot, Category 6 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity in commercial environments. Its snagless boot design protects the RJ45 connector and prevents cable damage during installation or frequent moves, adds, and changes. This cable is critical for ensuring stable data transmission for IP cameras, NVRs, and network switches, particularly in installations where cable management and durability are paramount. The red color coding aids in quick identification within structured cabling systems.

Compatibility

This Cat 6 cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment featuring RJ45 ports, including but not limited to:

  • Most IP cameras from brands like Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua.
  • Network Video Recorders (NVRs) and Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) with Ethernet ports.
  • Managed and unmanaged network switches with 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports.
  • Workstations, servers, and other network-attached devices.

It supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and is backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 5 standards.

Installation Notes

The snagless boot design requires no special tools for connection but ensures the locking tab on the RJ45 connector is protected from accidental disengagement or breakage. For optimal performance and to maintain the Category 6 standard, avoid sharp bends exceeding a 4x cable diameter radius and do not exceed the specified length limitations for Gigabit Ethernet (typically 100 meters or 328 feet).
