Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s, ensuring fast and stable network performance for Gigabit Ethernet applications. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility and resilience, while the gold-plated contacts enhance signal integrity and corrosion resistance over repeated use.
The cable is unshielded (UTP), which simplifies installation and reduces bulk, making it suitable for patch panels and tight spaces. Key technical features include Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) reduction for improved signal clarity, Power over Ethernet (PoE) support for devices like IP cameras and VoIP phones, and a molded strain relief that extends cable lifespan.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines practical design with robust performance features that benefit IT deployments. The snagless boots prevent tangling and damage in high-density rack environments, while the CM jacket rating ensures compliance with commercial safety standards.

FAQ
What is the length of this Cat6 patch cable?
This Black Box patch cable is 6 feet long, which is equivalent to 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, reducing cable clutter while maintaining reliable performance.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
Both ends of the cable feature RJ-45 male connectors, making it a standard patch cable for Ethernet networks. The connectors have gold-plated contacts to ensure strong signal transmission and resist corrosion over time, and they include snagless boots to prevent accidental disconnection in tight spaces.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this Cat6 cable supports Power over Ethernet, allowing it to deliver both data and power to compatible devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. This eliminates the need for separate power adapters and simplifies installation in PoE-enabled network setups.
What does the CM jacket rating mean?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates that the cable's PVC jacket meets specific fire safety and smoke production standards for commercial installations. This makes it suitable for use in walls, ceilings, and other spaces within commercial buildings, ensuring compliance with building codes and safety regulations.
What is the data transfer speed of this cable?
This Category 6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second), providing fast and stable connectivity for Gigabit Ethernet networks. It is designed to handle high-speed data transmission for applications like file sharing, video streaming, and online collaboration without bottlenecks.
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 lighter, more flexible, and easier to install than shielded versions, making them a common choice for most office and data center environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal.
