Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable operates at 250 MHz frequency, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and backward compatibility with CAT5e networks. The S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding configuration provides comprehensive protection against external EMI/RF interference, while the internal twisted pair design minimizes near-end crosstalk (NEXT) for clear signal integrity. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors balance flexibility with conductivity, suitable for patch cord applications where repeated handling is common.
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) PVC jacket meets standard riser-rated requirements for in-wall installation in commercial buildings. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts maintain optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance over thousands of insertion cycles. The slim molded boot reduces connector bulk and prevents snagging in high-density patch panels.
Key Product Advantages
This Black Box patch cable delivers reliable network performance through its combination of premium materials and thoughtful engineering. The S/FTP shielding ensures stable connections in electrically noisy environments, while the gold-plated contacts maintain signal quality over extended use. The slim molded boot design not only protects the connector interface but also facilitates easier cable management in crowded network cabinets.
Enhanced Durability
Stranded conductor construction provides greater flexibility and resistance to breakage compared to solid-core cables, making this patch cable suitable for applications requiring frequent movement or reconfiguration.
- Withstands repeated bending
- Maintains conductivity under stress
- Ideal for patch panel use
Interference Protection
The S/FTP shielding configuration offers dual-layer protection with both overall foil shielding and individual pair shielding, effectively blocking electromagnetic and radio frequency interference that can degrade network performance.
- Blocks external EMI/RF noise
- Reduces crosstalk between pairs
- Maintains signal integrity
Deployment / Use Cases
This 1-foot CAT6 patch cable is optimized for short-distance connections in network infrastructure. Its compact length makes it ideal for connecting network equipment in rack-mounted configurations, such as linking switches to patch panels or connecting servers to top-of-rack switches. The slim profile and molded boot allow for clean cable management in high-density environments where space is at a premium.
The cable's CM rating and shielded construction make it suitable for commercial office installations, data centers, and network closets where reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections are essential. It serves perfectly as a patch cord for connecting wall outlets to computers, linking network devices in server racks, or establishing connections between networking equipment in telecommunications rooms. The environmentally friendly construction and lifetime warranty provide additional value for enterprise deployments.
Data Center Applications
The 1-foot length and slim design are particularly useful in data center environments where short connections between adjacent rack units minimize cable clutter and improve airflow management.
Office Network Infrastructure
Ideal for connecting patch panels to switches in network closets or linking wall outlets to workstations, providing reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for business applications.

FAQ
What is the difference between S/FTP and UTP shielding?
S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) provides both overall foil shielding around all pairs and individual foil shielding around each twisted pair, offering superior protection against electromagnetic interference compared to UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) which has no shielding. This Black Box cable uses S/FTP shielding to maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.
Can this CAT6 cable support speeds higher than 1 Gbit/s?
This cable is rated for 1 Gbit/s data transfer at 250 MHz frequency, which is the standard specification for Category 6 cables. While it may support higher speeds in some conditions, it is officially certified for Gigabit Ethernet applications. For guaranteed 10 Gbit/s performance, you would need a CAT6a or higher category cable.
What does the CM rating on the jacket mean?
CM stands for Communications Multipurpose, indicating the cable jacket meets specific fire safety standards for riser applications in commercial buildings. CM-rated cables are suitable for installation in vertical runs between floors (risers) and provide adequate flame resistance while generating limited smoke, making them appropriate for most office and data center environments.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cable has a CM-rated PVC jacket designed for indoor commercial installations. For outdoor use, you would need a cable with specific outdoor-rated jacket material that provides UV resistance and protection against moisture and temperature extremes. This cable is intended for controlled indoor environments like offices, data centers, and network closets.
What is the advantage of gold-plated contacts on RJ-45 connectors?
Gold plating on the RJ-45 contacts provides superior corrosion resistance compared to other metals, ensuring reliable electrical connectivity over thousands of insertion cycles. Gold maintains excellent conductivity even with minimal oxidation, which is particularly important in network environments where connections may remain in place for extended periods without being disturbed.
How does the slim molded boot design benefit installation?
The slim molded boot reduces the overall connector profile, allowing for easier insertion and removal in high-density patch panels where space between ports is limited. The boot also provides strain relief at the connector-cable junction, protecting against damage from bending or pulling, and helps prevent the retention clip from snagging on adjacent cables or equipment.
