FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this cable?
This Black Box GigaTrue Cat.6 UTP patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second), making it suitable for high-speed Ethernet networks, including those used for file transfers, streaming, and VoIP applications.
Are both ends of the cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ-45 male connectors, each with gold-plated contacts. This design ensures a standard connection for linking network devices like switches, routers, computers, and patch panels without requiring adapters.
What does the CM rating on the jacket mean?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates that the cable's PVC jacket meets specific flame-resistance standards for use in plenum spaces, such as air handling areas in commercial buildings. This enhances safety in installations where cables are run through ceilings or walls.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, the cable is compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards, allowing it to deliver both data and electrical power to devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. The 24 AWG conductors and construction support efficient power transmission.
How does the snagless boot design benefit installation?
The snagless boot protects the RJ-45 connector's latch from catching on other cables or rack components during installation and removal. This reduces the risk of damage, prevents accidental disconnections, and simplifies cable management in dense network environments.
What is the warranty coverage for this patch cable?
Black Box provides a lifetime limited warranty for this GigaTrue Cat.6 UTP patch cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. This warranty offers long-term reliability assurance for network infrastructure investments.
