Description

Belkin A3L980-20-BLK-S Patch Cable - Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)

Overview

The Belkin A3L980-20-BLK-S is a 20-foot Category 6 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in structured cabling systems. It ensures consistent network performance for devices requiring standard Ethernet connectivity, such as IP cameras, network switches, and access control panels. This cable is suitable for horizontal runs within a rack or for connecting equipment in close proximity, minimizing signal degradation over its specified length.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 network interfaces, including those found on most IP cameras (e.g., Axis P32-series, Hikvision DS-2CD series), network switches (e.g., Cisco Catalyst, Ubiquiti UniFi), NVRs, and servers. It supports data rates up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and is backward compatible with Category 5e and Category 5 standards.

Installation Notes

Features snagless boots to protect the RJ45 connector tabs during installation and removal, preventing accidental disconnections. The stranded copper conductors offer flexibility, making it easier to route in tight spaces without compromising signal integrity. For optimal performance and to maintain the Category 6 rating, avoid sharp bends exceeding a 4x cable diameter radius.
