Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 6 UTP patch cable meets industry standards for Ethernet networking, delivering performance suitable for Gigabit Ethernet applications. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors ensure optimal conductivity and flexibility, while the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design simplifies installation without compromising on near-end crosstalk (NEXT) performance. The cable's construction includes strain relief features and damage-resistant materials, enhancing longevity in high-traffic environments.
Key technical attributes include support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing for the transmission of both data and power over a single cable, which is ideal for devices like IP cameras and VoIP phones. The snagless boot prevents accidental disconnections by protecting the connector latch, and the blue color aids in cable management and identification in rack setups.
Key Product Advantages
The Black Box GigaTrue Cat.6 cable offers several advantages for network deployments, starting with its robust build quality and reliable performance.

FAQ
What is the length of this Black Box Cat.6 patch cable?
This cable is 1 ft long, which is equivalent to 0.30 meters. This compact length is perfect for short connections in network racks, between adjacent devices, or in office setups where minimal cable slack is desired to reduce clutter and improve organization.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of the cable feature RJ45 male connectors. Each end has a single RJ45 connector, making it a standard patch cable for Ethernet networks. The connectors are gold-plated to enhance conductivity and resist corrosion, ensuring stable performance over time.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this Cat.6 UTP patch cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). This allows it to deliver both data and electrical power over a single cable, making it suitable for connecting devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones without needing separate power adapters.
What is the data transfer rate of this Cat.6 cable?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second). It is designed for Gigabit Ethernet applications, providing fast and reliable network connections for business tasks such as file transfers, video streaming, and online collaboration.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, meaning it does not have additional shielding layers. UTP cables are commonly used in most indoor networking environments due to their cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, and sufficient performance for typical office and data center applications.
What devices is this patch cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with a wide range of network devices, including patch panels, wallplates, switches, routers, computers, and PoE-enabled equipment. Its standard RJ45 connectors and Cat.6 rating ensure it works with most Ethernet-based systems in business and IT infrastructure.
