Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered to meet Category 6 standards, this UTP patch cable provides enhanced performance for Ethernet networks. It utilizes 24 AWG stranded copper conductors, which balance flexibility with reliable signal integrity. The cable is unshielded (UTP), making it lightweight and easy to handle while still supporting Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbit/s over its 3-foot span.
Key technical attributes include near-end crosstalk (NEXT) reduction for clear data transmission and support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, allowing it to deliver both data and power to compatible devices. The CM-rated jacket indicates suitability for use in plenum spaces, meeting building code requirements for fire safety. The environmentally friendly construction and lifetime warranty underscore its durability and long-term value.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines robust construction with practical features to simplify network installations and maintenance. The snagless boot design prevents latch breakage when unplugging, reducing downtime and replacement costs. Strain relief and damage-resistant materials ensure the cable withstands frequent handling and bending, ideal for dynamic environments where cables are frequently reconfigured.
Enhanced Reliability
Gold-plated contacts and stranded conductors provide consistent performance and flexibility, minimizing signal loss and physical wear over time.
Easy Identification
The blue color allows for quick visual sorting in cable trays and racks, streamlining network management and troubleshooting.
Broad Compatibility
Supports patch panels, wall plates, and a wide range of network devices, ensuring seamless integration into existing infrastructure.
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for short-distance connections within network racks, server rooms, and office workstations. Its 3-foot length makes it perfect for linking patch panels to switches or connecting wall outlets to computers and printers, reducing cable clutter and improving airflow in enclosed spaces.
Common applications include data center patching, where quick and reliable connections are critical, and office networking, where easy cable management and durability are priorities. The CM-rated jacket also allows for installation in plenum areas, such as above drop ceilings, meeting safety standards for commercial buildings. For PoE setups, it reliably delivers power to devices like VoIP phones and wireless access points without separate power cables.
Data Center Patching
Connect servers and switches in rack environments with a compact, high-speed cable that supports Gigabit Ethernet and PoE.
Office Workstation Links
Provide reliable connectivity from wall plates to desktops or printers, with a snagless design that prevents damage during daily use.

FAQ
What is the length of this Black Box network cable?
This cable is 3 feet long, which is approximately 0.91 meters. This length is designed for short-distance connections, such as between patch panels and switches or from wall outlets to devices, helping to minimize cable clutter in network racks and workstations.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
It features RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. Each connector has gold-plated contacts to ensure a stable, corrosion-resistant connection, which is essential for maintaining reliable data transmission in Ethernet networks.
What data transfer rate does this Cat.6 cable support?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second), making it suitable for high-speed networking applications. It meets Category 6 standards, which provide enhanced performance for Gigabit Ethernet and reduce near-end crosstalk for clearer signal quality.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
It is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. This means it does not have additional shielding layers, making it lighter and more flexible than shielded alternatives. UTP is commonly used in office and data center environments where interference is minimal.
What does the CM rating on the jacket indicate?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates that the cable's jacket is suitable for use in plenum spaces, such as areas above drop ceilings or in raised floors. This rating meets building code requirements for fire safety, as the jacket material is designed to resist flame spread and produce low smoke.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). It can deliver both data and electrical power to compatible devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras, eliminating the need for separate power cables and simplifying installations.
