The Belkin Snagless Patch Cable, part number A3L980-20-S, is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Ethernet cable designed for general networking applications. This cable features male RJ-45 connectors on both ends, suitable for connecting network devices such as computers, switches, routers, and patch panels. It supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbps and operates at a frequency of 550 MHz, making it appropriate for environments requiring Gigabit Ethernet performance. The snagless design helps prevent damage to the locking tab during installation and removal, which can be beneficial in high-density patching scenarios or when frequent reconfigurations occur.
