FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This Category 6 UTP patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second), making it suitable for modern network environments that require high-speed connectivity between devices such as switches, routers, and servers.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this cable is designed to support Power over Ethernet applications. The 26 AWG conductors and Category 6 specifications provide the necessary electrical characteristics to deliver both data and power to compatible devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras.
What type of shielding does this network cable have?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, meaning it does not have additional foil or braided shielding around the wire pairs. UTP cables are commonly used in most office and commercial environments where electromagnetic interference is not a significant concern.
What does the CM jacket rating mean for this cable?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating indicates this cable meets flame resistance standards for use in commercial building spaces. CM-rated cables are suitable for general indoor installations in offices, schools, and commercial facilities where plenum-rated cable is not specifically required by local building codes.
Are both ends of the cable identical in terms of connectors?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ-45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts. Each end has one RJ-45 connector, making this a standard straight-through patch cable suitable for connecting network devices to switches, routers, or patch panels.
What warranty coverage comes with this network cable?
This Black Box Connect patch cable comes with a 2-year limited warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty provides assurance of product quality and reliability for business networking applications.
