Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 UTP patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-speed network applications. The 26 AWG stranded conductors offer flexibility and reliability, while the UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) design with Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) reduction ensures signal integrity in typical office and data center environments.
The cable is constructed with a CM-rated jacket, which is suitable for use in plenum spaces, and features molded strain relief to enhance durability. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, allowing for both data and power transmission over a single cable.
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 Cat6 patch cable?
This Black Box CAT6PC-001-YL patch cable is 1 foot (0.30 meters) long, making it ideal for short-distance connections between network devices in racks, cabinets, or workstations where minimal cable management is desired.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of this cable feature RJ-45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts. This configuration provides a standard Ethernet connection for linking devices like switches, routers, computers, and other network equipment.
Does this Cat6 cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this Cat6 UTP patch cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. It can deliver both data and electrical power over a single cable to compatible devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras.
What is the data transfer rate of this patch cable?
This Category 6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second), ensuring high-speed network performance for most office, data center, and home networking requirements.
What does the snagless boot feature provide?
The snagless boot is a protective cover over the RJ-45 connector that prevents the retention clip from catching on other cables or equipment. This reduces the risk of accidental disconnections and physical damage during installation and maintenance.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable, meaning it does not have additional shielding around the conductors. It relies on twisted pair design and quality construction to minimize interference, making it suitable for typical office and data center environments without extreme electromagnetic interference.
