Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable operates at 250 MHz frequency, supporting Gigabit Ethernet applications with robust signal integrity. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors maintain flexibility while ensuring reliable conductivity. Shielding is implemented through a combination of overall foil and individual pair foil (S/FTP), which minimizes crosstalk and external interference for stable data transfer.
The cable meets Category 6 specifications, including Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) performance requirements for clear signal transmission. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide corrosion-resistant contacts that maintain connection quality over repeated insertions and removals. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates suitability for general purpose use in commercial buildings.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines performance, durability, and practical design features for reliable network infrastructure. The shielded construction ensures data integrity in electrically noisy environments, while the stranded conductors provide the flexibility needed for frequent repositioning in patch panels and equipment racks.
Interference Protection
S/FTP shielding effectively blocks electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, maintaining signal clarity for critical network communications.
- EMI/RF Protection
- Reduced Crosstalk
- Stable Performance
Durable Construction
The slim molded boot protects connector joints from damage during installation and use, while the CM-rated PVC jacket resists wear in commercial environments.
- Molded Strain Relief
- Commercial Grade Jacket
- Gold-Plated Contacts
Deployment / Use Cases
This 1-foot Cat6 patch cable is ideal for short-run connections in data centers, server rooms, and network closets where space is limited. The compact length makes it perfect for connecting switches to patch panels, routers to modems, or any network equipment positioned in close proximity.
The red color provides visual identification for specific network segments or critical connections, simplifying cable management and troubleshooting. Environmental considerations include PVC-free alternatives where required, though this standard PVC version offers cost-effective performance for most commercial installations.
Data Center Applications
Connect network equipment in rack-mounted configurations where short, organized cable runs improve airflow and accessibility.
Office Network Infrastructure
Establish reliable connections between network switches, patch panels, and wall outlets in commercial office environments.

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 Ethernet). It operates at 250 MHz frequency, which provides sufficient bandwidth for high-speed network applications while maintaining signal integrity through its shielded construction.
What type of shielding does this network cable use?
The cable features S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding. This combines overall foil shielding around all conductor pairs with individual foil shielding around each pair, providing comprehensive protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) for reliable data transmission.
What does the CM rating on the jacket indicate?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates the cable jacket meets specific fire safety standards for use in commercial buildings. CM-rated cables are suitable for general purpose installations in spaces like offices, data centers, and network closets where fire resistance requirements apply.
Are both ends of this patch 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 standard Ethernet connections between network devices like switches, routers, and computers.
What advantages do gold-plated contacts provide?
Gold plating on the RJ-45 connectors provides superior corrosion resistance compared to other contact materials. This maintains electrical conductivity over repeated insertions and removals, ensures reliable signal transmission, and extends the usable life of the cable in environments where connections are frequently changed.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or industrial environments?
This cable is designed for indoor commercial use with its CM-rated PVC jacket. While it provides EMI/RF protection and durable construction, it is not rated for outdoor exposure or harsh industrial conditions. For outdoor applications, specifically rated outdoor or direct burial cables would be more appropriate.
