FAQ
What is the length of this Black Box network cable?
This cable is 30 feet long, which is equivalent to 9.14 meters. This length provides flexibility for connecting network devices across moderate distances in office, server room, or commercial environments without requiring additional extenders or couplers.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
Both ends of the cable feature RJ45 male connectors. These are standard Ethernet connectors with gold-plated contacts to ensure optimal signal transmission and corrosion resistance, making them compatible with most network equipment like switches, routers, and patch panels.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, meaning it does not have additional shielding layers. It relies on twisted pair design and Cat.6 specifications to minimize crosstalk and interference, which is suitable for typical office and data center environments where extreme EMI protection is not required.
What does the CM jacket rating mean?
CM stands for Communications Multipurpose, indicating the jacket is rated for use in riser and general-purpose spaces. This rating ensures the cable meets fire safety and smoke emission standards for indoor installations, making it appropriate for most commercial and residential networking applications.
Can this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this Cat.6 cable supports Power over Ethernet applications. Its 24 AWG stranded conductors are designed to handle both data and power transmission, allowing it to connect PoE devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones without needing separate power cables.
What warranty comes with this network cable?
Black Box provides a lifetime limited warranty for this cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, offering long-term reliability and peace of mind for network installations in business or institutional settings.
