Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s and operates at 250 MHz, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networks. The stranded conductor construction provides enhanced flexibility compared to solid-core cables, which is ideal for patch panel applications and frequent movement.
The cable features Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) protection to minimize signal interference, and the 26 AWG wire gauge balances performance with manageable cable diameter. The environmentally friendly PVC jacket material is durable and resistant to common workplace hazards.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Product Color, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines robust construction with practical design features that enhance network reliability and installation efficiency. The slim molded boot not only protects the RJ-45 connectors from damage but also creates a low-profile connection that fits easily in crowded network cabinets and behind equipment.
Superior Shielding Performance
S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding provides comprehensive protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, ensuring stable data transmission even in electrically noisy environments.
- Effective EMI/RF protection
- Maintains signal integrity
- Reduces packet loss
Durable Construction
The CM-rated PVC jacket meets flame-retardant standards for riser applications, while gold-plated contacts maintain conductivity over repeated insertions and removals.
- CM rating for indoor riser use
- Gold contacts resist corrosion
- PVC jacket resists abrasion
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat6 patch cable is versatile enough for various networking scenarios where reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is required. Its 15-foot length provides ample reach for most office and data center applications while maintaining signal quality.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting workstations to network switches, linking patch panels to switches in server rooms, extending connections for IP telephony equipment, and providing temporary network access during equipment testing or reconfiguration. The black color blends discreetly with most network infrastructure.
Office Network Infrastructure
Ideal for connecting computers, printers, and VoIP phones to network switches in commercial environments where consistent Gigabit speeds are essential for productivity applications.
Data Center Patch Applications
Suitable for patch panel connections in server rooms where the slim boot design allows for higher density installations and the stranded construction withstands frequent reconfigurations.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this Cat6 cable?
This Black Box Cat6 patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second), making it fully compatible with Gigabit Ethernet networks. The 250 MHz frequency rating ensures reliable performance for high-speed data transmission in office, data center, and commercial networking environments.
What type of shielding does this network cable have?
The cable features S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding, which provides comprehensive protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This shielding type helps maintain signal integrity and reduces data errors, particularly important in electrically noisy environments or when cables are bundled together.
What does the CM rating mean for the cable jacket?
CM stands for Communications Multipurpose, indicating the PVC jacket meets specific flame-retardant standards for riser cable applications. CM-rated cables are suitable for indoor vertical runs between floors in non-plenum spaces, providing an appropriate safety rating for most commercial building installations where cables pass through riser shafts.
How does the slim molded boot design benefit installation?
The slim molded boot reduces the connector profile compared to standard boots, allowing for easier cable routing in crowded network cabinets and patch panels. This design also provides strain relief at the connection point, protecting the RJ-45 connectors from damage during installation or when cables are moved, while enabling higher density connections in limited spaces.
What is the advantage of gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors?
Gold plating on the RJ-45 contacts provides superior corrosion resistance compared to other plating materials, ensuring consistent electrical connectivity over time. This is particularly valuable in environments with variable humidity or when connections may remain in place for extended periods, as it maintains optimal signal transmission with minimal insertion loss.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use or direct burial applications?
No, this Cat6 patch cable is designed for indoor use only. The CM-rated PVC jacket is appropriate for riser applications within buildings but does not provide the UV resistance or moisture protection required for outdoor installations. For outdoor networking needs, specifically rated outdoor or direct burial Ethernet cables should be selected instead.
