Belkin A3L980-30-WHT-S Patch Cable - Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)

Overview

The Belkin A3L980-30-WHT-S is a 30-foot, white, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Category 6 patch cable. It's designed for reliable data transmission in network infrastructure, including surveillance deployments where consistent connectivity is critical for video streams and device communication. This cable terminates with standard RJ45 connectors on both ends, facilitating straightforward integration into network switches, routers, and endpoint devices.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device utilizing standard RJ45 Ethernet ports. It is suitable for connecting IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), managed switches, and other network-attached devices that require a wired Ethernet connection. It supports data rates up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter distances and is backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 5 standards.

Installation Notes

Ensure the cable is routed away from sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) to maintain signal integrity. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could damage the internal conductors, which is particularly important in tight-fit installations within server racks or conduit. The UTP construction offers basic protection but is not recommended for environments with extreme EMI without additional shielding measures.
