Description

Belkin A3L980-12-BLK-S Patch Cable - Unshielded Twisted Pair

Overview

The Belkin A3L980-12-BLK-S is a 12-foot, Category 6 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity. This cable ensures stable data transmission for devices requiring a standard RJ45 Ethernet connection, such as IP cameras, network switches, and NVRs. Its construction supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds, making it suitable for high-bandwidth surveillance systems and general IT infrastructure where data integrity is critical. The male-to-male connectors simplify direct connections between network components.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device featuring standard RJ45 Ethernet ports. It is suitable for connecting components within a network infrastructure that supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) speeds, including but not limited to: NVRs, IP cameras, network switches, routers, and workstations. It functions across various network environments, from small office/home office (SOHO) setups to enterprise data centers, provided the connected devices adhere to Ethernet standards.

Installation Notes

The cable features standard RJ45 connectors on both ends for plug-and-play installation. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive bending or sharp kinks, which can compromise internal wire integrity and signal quality. For optimal performance, avoid routing near high-voltage power cables to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
