Product Features
Technical Overview
Built to Category 6 specifications, this UTP patch cable meets industry standards for Ethernet networking, supporting frequencies up to 250 MHz. It utilizes 24 AWG stranded copper conductors, which balance signal integrity with physical flexibility, reducing the risk of performance degradation from bending or movement.
The cable employs RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, ensuring compatibility with standard network ports. Its unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design, combined with features like Near End Cross Talk (NEXT) mitigation, helps maintain clear signal transmission in typical office and data center environments.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What is the length of this Black Box network cable?
This Black Box GigaTrue Cat.6 UTP patch cable is 5 feet long, which is approximately 1.52 meters. This length is ideal for short-distance connections in patch panels, server racks, or between wall outlets and devices, providing enough reach without creating excess cable clutter.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of the cable feature standard RJ-45 male connectors. This configuration is designed for connecting to female RJ-45 ports commonly found on network switches, routers, patch panels, wallplates, and computers, ensuring broad compatibility in Ethernet networks.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, meaning it does not have additional metallic shielding around the conductors. UTP cables like this one are typically used in environments without high levels of electromagnetic interference, offering a cost-effective and flexible solution for most office and data center applications.
What does the CM rating on the jacket indicate?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating on the cable's PVC jacket signifies that it meets specific fire safety standards for general-purpose use, including in-wall installations in many jurisdictions. This rating ensures the jacket material has limited flame spread and smoke production, enhancing safety in commercial and residential settings.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This Category 6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second). It is engineered to handle high-speed Ethernet networks, making it suitable for applications like file transfers, streaming, and VoIP that require reliable and fast connectivity without bottlenecks.
What are the key features of this cable's construction?
The cable is constructed with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors, which provide better flexibility and resistance to breakage compared to solid conductors. It also includes features like Near End Cross Talk (NEXT) mitigation to reduce signal interference, a rugged red PVC jacket for durability, and non-booted connectors for easy handling in tight spaces.
