Belkin A3L980-05-BLU CAT6 Patch Cable
Overview
The Belkin A3L980-05-BLU is a 5-foot Category 6 (CAT6) Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in commercial and enterprise network deployments. This cable is essential for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), switches, and workstations, ensuring consistent bandwidth for surveillance streams and data transfer. Its construction supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds, making it suitable for high-demand network applications where data integrity and speed are critical. The blue color-coding aids in network infrastructure management, allowing for quick identification of cable types and connections.
Compatibility
This CAT6 patch cable is compatible with all standard Ethernet networking equipment that utilizes RJ45 connectors. This includes, but is not limited to, network switches, routers, IP cameras (e.g., Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, Dahua models), NVRs, servers, and desktop computers. It is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 standards but is optimized for CAT6 performance, supporting 10/100/1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) and 10GBase-T networks up to 55 meters. Ensure your connected devices support the desired network speed for full utilization of the cable's capabilities.
Installation Notes
For optimal performance and longevity, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can degrade signal quality. Ensure connectors are fully seated in their ports. This cable is intended for indoor use in controlled environments. Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture, or physical stress can compromise its integrity and performance.
