FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this CAT6 cable?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet applications. It is engineered to handle high-speed network traffic for tasks like file transfers, streaming, and VoIP, ensuring reliable performance in modern IT environments.
How long is this bulk network cable, and what applications is it best for?
The cable length is 1000 ft (304.80 m), which is ideal for large-scale structured cabling projects. It is commonly used in data centers, office buildings, and educational campuses for backbone connections, horizontal runs, and patch panel terminations where minimizing splices is important.
What type of connectors are on the ends of this cable?
Both ends feature bare wire connectors, meaning there are no pre-attached plugs. This allows for custom termination with RJ45 connectors or direct punch-down into patch panels, giving installers flexibility to match specific project requirements and tools.
Is this cable shielded, and what does CMR rating mean?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, so it does not have shielding, which simplifies installation. The CMR rating indicates the jacket is suitable for riser applications, meaning it meets flame-retardant standards for vertical runs in buildings, enhancing safety.
What color is the cable jacket, and why does it matter?
The jacket is orange, which aids in visual identification within complex cabling systems. This color coding helps network administrators quickly distinguish cable types or purposes during installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting, improving organization and efficiency.
Does this cable come with a warranty, and is it TAA compliant?
Yes, it includes a lifetime limited warranty from Black Box, covering defects in materials and workmanship. It is also TAA compliant, making it eligible for procurement by U.S. government agencies and institutions that require Trade Agreements Act compliance.
