APC by Schneider Electric 3827GY-40 Patch Cable
Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric 3827GY-40 is a 40-foot Category 5, Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) network patch cable. It terminates in standard RJ45 male connectors on both ends, facilitating direct connections between network devices. This cable is suitable for deployments requiring reliable data transmission up to 100 Mbps, making it a functional choice for connecting IP cameras, network switches, or NVRs within a local area network where Gigabit speeds are not a requirement.
Compatibility
This Category 5 cable is designed for standard Ethernet networking. It is compatible with any network device utilizing RJ45 ports and operating at speeds up to 100 Mbps, including many older IP cameras, basic network switches, and certain NVR models. For optimal performance with modern high-definition IP cameras or Gigabit network infrastructure, a Category 5e or Category 6 cable is recommended.
Installation Notes
The UTP construction means this cable offers basic protection against electromagnetic interference but is best suited for shorter runs in environments with minimal electrical noise. For runs near power cables or in areas with high EMI, shielded cabling (STP/FTP) or a higher category cable (Cat 5e, Cat 6) would provide superior signal integrity. The 40-foot length provides moderate reach for device placement flexibility.
