Description

Belkin A3L980-20-BLK Cat6 UTP Patch Cable

Overview

The Belkin A3L980-20-BLK is a 20-foot, Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Category 6 Ethernet patch cable. It features standard RJ45 male connectors on both ends, terminated in black. This cable is critical for establishing stable network connections for IP cameras, network switches, and NVRs, ensuring data integrity for video streams and system management. Its 20-foot length provides flexibility for routing within racks, across ceilings, or between wall-mounted equipment in commercial and surveillance environments.

Compatibility

This Cat6 UTP cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that utilizes RJ45 Ethernet ports. This includes, but is not limited to, most IP cameras from brands like Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua; network switches from Cisco, Ubiquiti, and Netgear; and Network Video Recorders (NVRs) from various manufacturers. It supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) speeds, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications such as 4K video streaming and rapid data transfer.

Installation Notes

Ensure connectors are fully seated in their respective ports to guarantee a reliable connection. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can degrade signal performance and potentially damage the internal conductors. For runs exceeding 100 meters (328 feet), consider using network extenders or additional network devices, as this cable is designed for standard horizontal or patch panel runs within that limit.
