Product Features
Technical Overview
Built to Category 6 specifications, this patch cable meets the performance requirements for Gigabit Ethernet networks. The 24 AWG stranded conductors enhance flexibility and durability, reducing the risk of breakage during frequent handling and repositioning. The snagless boot design protects the connector latch from accidental disengagement, contributing to longer cable life and reduced downtime.
Key technical attributes include support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, allowing the cable to carry both data and electrical power to compatible devices. The cable also incorporates Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) mitigation features, which help maintain signal clarity and reduce interference in high-density cabling environments. These characteristics ensure consistent performance in patch panel, wallplate, and network device connections.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This Black Box GigaTrue Cat.6 UTP patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networks. It meets Category 6 performance standards, ensuring reliable high-speed connectivity for business applications such as file transfers, video streaming, and VoIP communications.
What types of connectors are on each end of the cable?
Both ends of the cable feature RJ-45 male connectors. These are standard Ethernet connectors with gold-plated contacts for improved signal integrity and corrosion resistance. The connectors are designed for secure connections to patch panels, wallplates, switches, and other network devices with RJ-45 female 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 install in typical office environments. UTP cables are commonly used for patch applications where electromagnetic interference is minimal, and they comply with Category 6 specifications for performance.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. It can carry both data and electrical power to compatible devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. The 24 AWG conductors and construction are designed to handle PoE requirements without performance degradation.
What does the CM rating on the jacket mean?
The CM rating indicates that the cable jacket is suitable for use in commercial building plenums. CM stands for Communications Multipurpose, and it meets fire safety standards for riser and general-purpose applications in commercial spaces. This rating ensures compliance with building codes for installed cabling in offices and data centers.
What is included in the warranty for this cable?
This Black Box GigaTrue cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, providing long-term assurance of quality and reliability. It reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the cable's durability and performance in network environments.
