Description

Belkin A3L980-12-WHT-S Snagless Patch Cable

Overview

The Belkin A3L980-12-WHT-S is a 12-foot, Category 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in network infrastructure. Its snagless boot design prevents connector damage during installation and removal, crucial for maintaining network integrity in environments like server rooms or structured cabling deployments. This cable ensures consistent connectivity for devices requiring stable network access.

Compatibility

This Cat 6 cable is backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 5 standards, supporting data rates up to 10 Gbps over shorter distances and 1 Gbps up to 100 meters. It is suitable for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, and workstations. Use it to link devices within a rack, connect to wall plates, or extend network reach where standard lengths are insufficient.

Installation Notes

The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 connector's clip, preventing accidental disengagement and simplifying cable management. Ensure the cable is not kinked or bent beyond its minimum bend radius (typically 4 times the cable diameter) to maintain signal integrity and prevent performance degradation.
