Description

Belkin A3L980-20-S Snagless Patch Cable

Overview

The Belkin A3L980-20-S is a 20-foot Category 6 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity in IT and surveillance deployments. Its snagless boot design prevents connector damage during installation and removal, ensuring the integrity of your network connections. This cable is suitable for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, and workstations where a stable, high-performance data link is critical.

Compatibility

This Cat6 UTP cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment requiring an RJ45 Ethernet connection, including but not limited to: Axis Communications IP cameras (e.g., P32-series domes, M-series bullets), Hikvision cameras, Dahua cameras, and network switches from manufacturers like Cisco, Ubiquiti, and Netgear. It supports data rates up to 1 Gbps and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards.

Installation Notes

Ensure the cable is routed away from sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) to maintain signal integrity. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 connector's locking tab, but care should still be taken during insertion and removal to avoid stressing the port or the connector.
