Description

Belkin A3L980-100-BLKS Patch Cable - 100ft Cat 6 UTP

Overview

The Belkin A3L980-100-BLKS is a 100-foot Category 6 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cable. It provides a reliable physical connection for network devices, essential for ensuring consistent data flow in surveillance systems where dropped frames or intermittent connectivity can compromise evidence. This cable is designed for standard horizontal or patch panel runs within a controlled environment.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device requiring a standard RJ45 Ethernet connection, including network switches, routers, NVRs, and IP cameras. It supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter distances, and is backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 5 standards. Ensure your connected devices support the desired network speed for optimal performance.

Installation Notes

The cable features male connectors on both ends for direct device-to-device or device-to-patch panel connections. Its UTP construction makes it suitable for general office and data center environments, but it should not be used in areas with high electromagnetic interference (EMI) without additional shielding. For runs exceeding 100 meters (328 feet), signal degradation will occur and repeaters or fiber optic solutions are required.
