Description

Belkin A3L980-02-YLW-S Cat 6 UTP Patch Cable

Overview

The Belkin A3L980-02-YLW-S is a 2-foot Category 6 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cable. It terminates in male connectors on both ends, designed for connecting network devices within a rack or to a patch panel. This cable is suitable for deployments requiring reliable data transmission up to 10 Gbps, making it a solid choice for connecting IP cameras, NVRs, or network switches in a surveillance infrastructure. The yellow jacket aids in visual identification and cable management.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that uses RJ45 connectors, including but not limited to:

  • Network switches (e.g., Cisco Catalyst, Ubiquiti UniFi, Netgear Managed series)
  • Network Video Recorders (NVRs) from brands like Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Hanwha
  • IP cameras from all major manufacturers
  • Servers and workstations with Gigabit or 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports
  • Patch panels and wall plates with RJ45 keystone jacks

It supports Ethernet standards up to 10GBASE-T, provided the connected devices and infrastructure also support these speeds.

Installation Notes

Ensure connectors are fully seated in their respective ports to guarantee a stable connection. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can degrade signal integrity and performance, especially at higher frequencies and data rates. The UTP construction offers flexibility but is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) in high-noise environments; shielded cables are recommended for such scenarios.
