Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 6 patch cable operates at 250 MHz frequency, supporting data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s for fast network access. The stranded conductor design (26 AWG) provides flexibility without compromising performance, making it ideal for patch panel applications and frequent repositioning.
The S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding combines overall foil shielding with individual pair foiling, offering superior protection against electromagnetic interference. This construction minimizes near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and maintains signal quality in environments with multiple electronic devices.
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 cable combines technical excellence with practical design features that benefit network administrators and IT professionals. The slim molded boot reduces bulk at connection points while providing durable strain relief that extends cable life during frequent insertions and removals.
Enhanced Signal Integrity
Gold-plated contacts and S/FTP shielding work together to maintain clean signal transmission, reducing packet loss and ensuring consistent network performance.
- Gold plating prevents oxidation
- Foil shielding blocks EMI/RF interference
- Minimizes near-end crosstalk
Durable Construction
The CM-rated PVC jacket meets commercial flammability standards, while the stranded conductors withstand repeated bending without conductor breakage.
- CM rating for commercial use
- Flexible stranded design
- Molded boot for strain relief
Deployment / Use Cases
This patch cable is designed for connecting network devices in office environments, data centers, and commercial installations. Its 3-foot length makes it ideal for short connections between switches, routers, and patch panels where minimal cable slack is preferred.
The orange color provides immediate visual identification in cable management systems, helping technicians quickly trace connections during troubleshooting or reconfiguration. The slim profile allows for high-density installations in network racks and cabinets without obstructing airflow or access to adjacent ports.
Data Center Applications
Use for server-to-switch connections in rack-mounted environments where space optimization and reliable high-speed connectivity are critical.
Office Network Infrastructure
Ideal for connecting workstations to wall outlets or linking networking equipment in telecom closets and server rooms.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this CAT6 cable?
This Black Box CAT6 patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s. Operating at 250 MHz frequency, it provides sufficient bandwidth for Gigabit Ethernet applications, ensuring fast and reliable network connectivity for data-intensive tasks.
What type of shielding does this cable have and why is it important?
This cable features S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding, which combines overall foil shielding with individual pair foiling. This construction is important because it protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), maintaining signal integrity in environments with multiple electronic devices that could cause data corruption or packet loss.
What does the CM rating on the jacket indicate?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates that the PVC jacket meets specific flammability standards for commercial installations. CM-rated cables are suitable for use in spaces between floors, in risers, and other commercial building applications where fire safety compliance is required by electrical codes.
Are both ends of this cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ-45 male connectors. Each end has one RJ-45 network connector with gold-plated contacts, making this a straight-through patch cable suitable for connecting network devices like computers, switches, routers, and patch panels in standard Ethernet configurations.
What advantages do stranded conductors offer compared to solid conductors?
Stranded conductors, like those in this cable, consist of multiple thin wires twisted together, providing greater flexibility than solid conductors. This makes the cable more resistant to breakage from repeated bending and movement, which is particularly valuable in patch cable applications where cables are frequently connected, disconnected, or repositioned during network maintenance and reconfiguration.
How does the slim molded boot design benefit installation?
The slim molded boot reduces the overall bulk at the connection point, allowing for tighter spacing between ports in high-density network equipment. The boot also provides strain relief that protects the cable termination from damage during insertion, removal, or when cables are pulled or moved, extending the cable's operational lifespan in active network environments.
