Description

Belkin A3L980-08-S Patch Cable

Overview

The Belkin A3L980-08-S is an 8-foot, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Category 6 Ethernet patch cable. It provides a reliable physical link for network devices, ensuring data integrity for surveillance systems, VoIP phones, and other IP-based equipment. This cable is designed for standard horizontal or vertical network runs within a rack or between a wall plate and a device.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device featuring standard RJ45 Ethernet ports, including network switches, routers, NVRs, IP cameras, and workstations. It supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) over shorter distances, and up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) for standard runs, provided the connected devices and network infrastructure support these speeds.

Installation Notes

Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive bending radius (maintain at least 4x the cable diameter) to prevent internal conductor damage. Avoid routing parallel to high-voltage power cables for more than 10 feet without proper shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) which can degrade signal quality and reduce network speeds.
