Description

Belkin A3L980-40-YLW-S Cat 6 Patch Cable

Overview

The Belkin A3L980-40-YLW-S is a 40-foot, yellow, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Category 6 patch cable. This cable is designed for reliable data transmission in network environments, ensuring consistent connectivity for devices within a structured cabling system. Its distinct yellow color aids in visual identification and management within racks or patch panels, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance. This cable is suitable for connecting network devices such as computers, switches, and routers where a standard Ethernet connection is required.

Compatibility

This Category 6 UTP cable is backward compatible with Category 5e and Category 5 standards, but is optimized for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 55 meters. It is compatible with any standard RJ45 network port found on network switches, routers, servers, patch panels, and end-user devices. Use this cable for connecting devices within a local area network (LAN) where high-speed data transfer is necessary.

Installation Notes

Ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius (typically 4 times the cable diameter) to avoid damaging the internal conductors and compromising signal integrity. Avoid routing parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI). Terminations should be made using appropriate RJ45 connectors designed for Cat 6 UTP cable.
