Description

Belkin A3L980-01-YLW-S Cat 6 UTP Patch Cable

Overview

The Belkin A3L980-01-YLW-S is a 1-foot Category 6 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cable, designed for reliable network connections in environments where cable length and color-coding are critical. Its yellow jacket facilitates easy identification and management within structured cabling systems, particularly useful for segmenting different network types or quality of service levels. This cable is suitable for connecting network devices such as switches, routers, servers, and workstations where a short, dependable link is required.

Compatibility

This Cat 6 UTP cable is backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 5 standards, ensuring broad compatibility with most Ethernet networking equipment. It is designed for use with standard RJ45 connectors and interfaces found on virtually all modern network devices, including enterprise-grade switches, IP cameras, and network attached storage (NAS) systems. Specific compatibility extends to devices requiring 10/100/1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) and 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet) speeds over short distances, provided the connected equipment supports these standards.

Installation Notes

The 1-foot length of the A3L980-01-YLW-S minimizes cable clutter and signal degradation, making it ideal for patch panel to switch connections or device-to-wall outlet links. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive bending radius (minimum 4x cable diameter) to maintain signal integrity and prevent internal conductor damage. The UTP construction offers flexibility but requires proper cable management to avoid interference from external electromagnetic sources, especially in high-density installations.
