Technical Overview
This Cat6 patch cable meets industry standards for unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling, ensuring compatibility with network equipment requiring Category 6 performance. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility and durability, while the CM-rated jacket offers flame-retardant properties suitable for in-wall use in commercial spaces.
The cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, delivering both data and power to compatible devices. Its Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) performance minimizes interference, maintaining signal clarity for consistent network throughput.
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.

FAQ
What is the length of this Black Box Cat6 patch cable?
The cable is 15 feet long, which is equivalent to 4.57 meters. This length is suitable for connecting devices across typical office desks, between patch panels, or from wallplates to workstations without excessive slack.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
Both ends feature RJ-45 male connectors, making it a standard patch cable for Ethernet networks. The connectors have gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission and reduce corrosion over time.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this Cat6 cable supports Power over Ethernet applications. It can deliver both data and electrical power to compatible devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras, simplifying installation by reducing the need for separate power cables.
What is the data transfer rate of this cable?
The cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second), making it suitable for high-speed network connections in modern office and data center environments. It meets Category 6 specifications for reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance.
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 cost-effective for typical office and commercial installations where electromagnetic interference is minimal.
What does the CM rating on the jacket mean?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates that the cable's PVC jacket is flame-retardant and suitable for in-wall installation in commercial buildings. This rating ensures compliance with safety standards for cable runs in plenums, risers, and general-purpose areas.
