Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch cable utilizes unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with 26 AWG stranded conductors, offering flexibility and durability for frequent handling. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 connectors enhance signal integrity and resist corrosion, supporting consistent performance 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 reliability. Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) performance is optimized to minimize interference, ensuring stable data transmission.
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.
Key Product Advantages

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 suitable for most patch panel to device connections in office or data center environments, providing enough reach without excessive slack.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
Both ends feature standard RJ45 male connectors. This male-to-male configuration is designed for direct connections between network devices like computers, switches, and routers without requiring adapters.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. It does not have additional shielding layers, making it flexible and cost-effective for typical office and data center use where electromagnetic interference is minimal.
What data transfer speed does this Cat6 cable support?
It supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (gigabit per second), which is standard for Category 6 cables. This speed is sufficient for high-bandwidth activities like large file transfers, video streaming, and VoIP communications.
What does the CM jacket rating mean?
CM stands for Communications Multipurpose, indicating the jacket is rated for use in plenum spaces—areas used for air circulation in buildings. This rating ensures the cable meets fire safety and smoke emission standards for installation in ceilings, raised floors, or other air-handling spaces.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices?
Yes, it supports Power over Ethernet applications. The 26 AWG conductors and gold-plated contacts are capable of carrying both data and power to devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without performance degradation.
