Description

Belkin A3L980-08-BLK-S Patch Cable - Cat 6 UTP

Overview

The Belkin A3L980-08-BLK-S is an 8-foot Category 6 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cable. It's designed for connecting network devices in environments where flexibility and reliable data transmission are critical. This cable is suitable for standard Ethernet networking applications, including connecting workstations, servers, switches, and routers within a rack or across a short distance. The stranded conductor construction offers better flexibility than solid core cables, making it easier to route in tight spaces and less prone to breakage from repeated bending during installation or maintenance. The A3L980-08-BLK-S ensures consistent performance for data rates up to 1 Gbps.

Compatibility

This Cat 6 UTP patch cable is compatible with all standard Ethernet networking equipment utilizing RJ45 connectors. This includes, but is not limited to, network switches, routers, firewalls, network-attached storage (NAS) devices, and IP cameras from manufacturers such as Axis Communications, Hanwha Vision, Hikvision, and Ubiquiti Networks. It supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T Ethernet standards.

Installation Notes

The stranded conductor design of the A3L980-08-BLK-S provides enhanced flexibility, simplifying installation in densely populated network racks or conduits. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could compromise signal integrity. Ensure connectors are fully seated in their ports to establish a stable connection.
