FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this cable?
This Category 5e cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (gigabit per second), making it suitable for gigabit Ethernet networks. It meets the performance standards for Category 5e cabling, which includes bandwidth up to 100 MHz and is commonly used for 1000BASE-T applications in office and commercial environments.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of the cable feature RJ-45 male connectors, which are standard for Ethernet networking. The connectors have gold-plated contacts to ensure optimal signal conductivity and corrosion resistance. This configuration makes the cable ideal for connecting devices like computers, switches, and routers to network outlets or patch panels.
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 commonly used in most office and commercial environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal. The twisted pair design itself helps reduce crosstalk and interference, making it suitable for standard networking applications.
What does the CM rating on the jacket mean?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates that the cable jacket meets specific flame-retardant standards for use in general commercial building spaces. CM-rated cables are suitable for installation in plenums, risers, and other areas where fire safety is a concern, ensuring compliance with building codes and safety regulations.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. The 24 AWG conductors and Category 5e construction allow for simultaneous data and power transmission to compatible devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. This makes it versatile for modern network deployments that require both connectivity and power delivery.
What is included with the cable purchase?
The cable is sold as a single unit (1 each) with no additional accessories included. It comes ready to use with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and features a snagless boot design for protection. The product is backed by a lifetime limited warranty from Black Box, providing long-term reliability assurance for your networking needs.
