Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat.6 UTP patch cable meets industry standards for unshielded twisted pair cabling, providing a cost-effective solution for structured cabling systems. The CM-rated PVC jacket offers flame-retardant properties suitable for commercial installations, while the snagless boot design protects the connector latch from accidental damage during frequent insertions and removals.
Key technical attributes include Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) performance that minimizes signal interference, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) support for delivering both data and power to compatible devices. The stranded conductor construction enhances flexibility, making the cable easier to route in tight spaces without compromising durability.
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.
Key Product Advantages
The GigaTrue series from Black Box emphasizes practical reliability with features that extend cable life and maintain network performance. The snagless boot prevents latch snagging, a common cause of connector damage in high-traffic areas, while the strain relief design reduces stress on the cable termination points.
Durability & Protection
The booted connectors and CM-rated jacket provide physical protection against wear, dust, and environmental factors, ensuring the cable remains functional in office, data center, or industrial settings.
- Snagless boot prevents latch damage
- CM-rated flame-retardant jacket
- Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion
Performance Assurance
Category 6 certification guarantees bandwidth up to 250 MHz, supporting Gigabit Ethernet with minimal signal loss. The UTP design simplifies installation while maintaining compliance with TIA/EIA-568-B.2 standards.
- 1 Gbit/s data transfer rate
- NEXT performance reduces crosstalk
- PoE compatible for powered devices
Deployment / Use Cases
This patch cable is ideal for connecting network equipment within racks, between wall outlets and devices, or in any scenario requiring short-run Ethernet links. Its 7-foot length suits typical patch panel to switch or wall plate to desktop connections, providing flexibility without excess cable management challenges.
Common applications include office workstations, server room patching, conference room AV setups, and retail point-of-sale systems. The blue color allows for easy identification in cable bundles, aiding organization and troubleshooting in multi-cable environments.
Data Center & Server Room
Use for connecting servers, switches, and patch panels in rack-mounted configurations. The snagless boot design is particularly valuable in dense racks where accidental disconnections can cause downtime.
Office & Workspace
Connect computers, printers, IP phones, and other network devices to wall plates or direct to switches. The UTP construction and CM rating make it suitable for plenum spaces and general office use.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this Cat.6 cable?
This Black Box GigaTrue Cat.6 UTP patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second), making it fully compatible with Gigabit Ethernet networks. It meets Category 6 specifications, which provide bandwidth up to 250 MHz for reliable high-speed data transmission in business environments.
What types of devices can I connect with this patch cable?
This cable is designed to connect patch panels, wall plates, and network devices such as switches, routers, computers, printers, and IP phones. The RJ-45 male connectors on both ends make it suitable for standard Ethernet ports found in most office and data center equipment.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this Cat.6 patch cable is PoE compatible, allowing it to deliver both data and electrical power to supported devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. The 24 AWG conductors and gold-plated contacts ensure efficient power transmission alongside data signals.
What does the snagless boot feature provide?
The snagless boot is a protective cover over the RJ-45 connector latch that prevents it from catching on other cables, ports, or rack components during installation or removal. This reduces the risk of latch breakage, extending the cable's lifespan in high-use scenarios like data center patching.
What is the significance of the CM jacket rating?
CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates the cable jacket meets flame-retardant standards for use in commercial building spaces, including plenums and risers. This PVC jacket material reduces fire spread risk and complies with building codes for installed network cabling in offices and data centers.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, meaning it does not have additional foil or braid shielding around the conductors. UTP cables are cost-effective, flexible, and suitable for most office environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal. The Category 6 specification ensures adequate crosstalk protection through twisted pair design.
