FAQ
What is the length of this Black Box patch cable?
This Black Box GigaTrue 3 patch cable measures 3 feet (approximately 0.91 meters) in length. This compact size makes it ideal for short connections between network equipment in racks, from wall outlets to devices, or between adjacent patch panel ports where minimal cable management is desired.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
The cable features RJ45 male connectors on both ends, each with gold-plated contacts. This standard Ethernet connector type ensures compatibility with patch panels, wallplates, switches, routers, computers, and other network devices that use RJ45 ports. The connectors are designed for secure, reliable connections in professional installations.
Is this Cat6 cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. It does not have additional foil or braid shielding around the wire pairs. UTP construction is standard for most indoor patch cable applications and provides reliable performance while maintaining flexibility and cost-effectiveness for structured cabling systems.
What does the CM jacket rating mean?
CM stands for Communications Multipurpose, indicating the jacket meets specific flame-retardant standards for commercial installations. CM-rated cables are suitable for use in plenum spaces and general building areas where fire safety codes apply. This PVC jacket provides durability while meeting regulatory requirements for network cabling in business environments.
Can this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this Cat6 patch cable is PoE-ready and can support Power over Ethernet applications. The 24 AWG conductors and quality construction ensure proper power delivery alongside data transmission for devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras that receive power through their Ethernet connections.
What warranty comes with this network cable?
Black Box provides a lifetime limited warranty for this GigaTrue 3 patch cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product when used under normal conditions.
