Technical Overview
This Category 6 UTP patch cable meets industry standards for Gigabit Ethernet, utilizing 24 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and resilience. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, supported by Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) performance enhancements for clear signal integrity.
The cable's CM-rated jacket is suitable for use in plenum spaces, offering fire resistance and low smoke emission. The snagless boot prevents snagging during installation and maintenance, while the lockable boot design secures connectors in place. Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatibility allows the cable to deliver both data and power to connected devices.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Product Color, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What is the length of this Black Box patch cable?
This Black Box GigaTrue 3 patch cable is 10 feet long, which is approximately 3.05 meters. This length is suitable for typical patch panel to device connections in office or data center environments, providing enough reach without excessive cable clutter.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
The cable has RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, each with gold-plated contacts. This configuration is standard for Ethernet patch cables, ensuring compatibility with network switches, routers, patch panels, and wallplates that use RJ-45 ports.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. It does not have additional shielding layers, which makes it more flexible and easier to handle. The UTP design, combined with Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) features, effectively reduces interference for reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance.
What does the CM jacket rating mean?
The CM jacket rating indicates that the cable's Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket meets commercial building standards for flame resistance and low smoke emission. This makes the cable suitable for use in plenum spaces and other commercial installations where fire safety is a priority.
Can this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable is compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. It can deliver both data and electrical power to connected devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points, simplifying installations by reducing the need for separate power cables.
What warranty comes with this patch cable?
Black Box provides a lifetime limited warranty for this GigaTrue 3 patch cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, offering long-term assurance of quality and reliability for network infrastructure investments.
