Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 6 patch cable adheres to industry standards for performance and reliability. It utilizes 24 AWG stranded copper wires with S/FTP shielding, which combines overall foil shielding with individual pair foil twisting to reduce near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and EMI/RF interference. The gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure optimal signal integrity and longevity, supporting frequencies up to 250 MHz for consistent Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
The cable's CM-rated jacket is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), providing flame-retardant properties suitable for in-wall installations in commercial spaces. Its environmentally friendly construction and lifetime warranty from Black Box underscore a commitment to quality and sustainability. The lockable boot feature adds an extra layer of security, preventing accidental unplugging in high-traffic areas.

FAQ
What is the cable length and is it suitable for short connections?
This cable is 1 foot (0.30 meters) long, making it perfect for short-distance connections within network racks, between patch panels and switches, or from wallplates to nearby devices. Its compact length reduces cable clutter, improves airflow in enclosed spaces, and simplifies organization in dense setups like data centers or server rooms.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, the Black Box GigaTrue 3 Cat.6 cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to deliver both data and electrical power to compatible devices. This feature is ideal for connecting PoE-enabled equipment such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points without needing separate power cables, streamlining installations and reducing wiring complexity.
What type of shielding does this cable have and why is it important?
This cable features S/FTP shielding, which combines overall foil shielding with individual pair foil twisting. This design minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring stable data transmission in environments with high electronic noise. It also reduces near-end crosstalk (NEXT), making it reliable for high-speed networks in crowded areas like offices or data centers.
What does the CM rating on the jacket mean for installation?
The CM rating indicates that the cable's PVC jacket meets commercial building standards for flame resistance and low smoke production. This makes it suitable for in-wall installations in commercial spaces, as it complies with safety codes for plenum and riser applications. The blue color adds easy identification, aiding in cable management and maintenance during deployments.
Are the connectors gold-plated and what are the benefits?
Yes, the RJ-45 connectors are gold-plated, which provides excellent corrosion resistance and ensures reliable electrical conductivity over time. Gold plating reduces signal loss and maintains consistent performance, even with frequent plugging and unplugging. This enhances the cable's durability and makes it ideal for high-use environments where connection integrity is critical.
What is the warranty for this cable and what does it cover?
Black Box offers a lifetime limited warranty for this cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This warranty reflects the product's robust construction and reliability, providing long-term peace of mind for buyers.
