Description

Belkin A3L980-06-RED-S Cat6 UTP Patch Cable

Overview

The Belkin A3L980-06-RED-S is a 6-foot, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Cat6 Ethernet patch cable. Its primary function is to provide a stable, high-bandwidth connection between network devices, such as cameras and network switches, or between workstations and network ports. The red color coding aids in quick identification and segregation of network runs, particularly useful in environments with multiple cable types or security zones. This cable is designed for standard Ethernet networking applications where data integrity and signal quality are paramount.

Compatibility

This Cat6 UTP cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 network ports. It supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps over short distances and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards. It is suitable for connecting any network device requiring an Ethernet link, including IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), managed switches, routers, and workstations. Its construction ensures reliable performance with devices supporting Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) standards.

Installation Notes

The cable features male connectors on both ends, designed for direct insertion into RJ45 ports. Ensure connectors are fully seated to establish a secure link. Avoid sharp bends or kinks exceeding a radius of 1 inch (2.5 cm) to maintain signal integrity and prevent internal conductor damage. The unshielded construction means it is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) in high-noise environments; for such applications, shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling is recommended.
