Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch cable utilizes unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with 26 AWG stranded copper conductors, offering flexibility and resistance to breakage during frequent handling. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors enhance signal integrity and corrosion resistance, supporting stable connections over time.
The snagless boot design prevents accidental disconnection and reduces strain on the connector, while features like molded strain relief and damage-resistant materials contribute to long-term durability. The cable is rated CM (Communications Multipurpose) for use in plenum spaces, meeting common building code requirements.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What is the length of this Black Box network cable?
This cable is 6 feet long, which is approximately 1.83 meters. This length is ideal for short-distance connections between network devices like computers, switches, or routers in office or data center environments.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
Both ends of the cable feature RJ-45 male connectors. Each end has a single RJ-45 connector, making it a standard patch cable for Ethernet networks. The connectors use gold plating for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance.
What data transfer speed does this Cat5e cable support?
This Category 5e cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second). It is suitable for high-speed networking applications, including internet access, file sharing, and connecting devices that require Gigabit Ethernet performance.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, meaning it does not have additional shielding around the conductors. UTP cables are common for most indoor networking applications and provide reliable performance without the need for grounding.
What does the CM jacket rating mean?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates that the cable's jacket is suitable for use in plenum spaces, such as air handling areas in buildings. This rating ensures compliance with fire safety and building codes for installed cabling.
Can this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). It can deliver both data and power to compatible devices like IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras, simplifying installations by reducing the need for separate power cables.
