User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this Cat.6a cable?
This Black Box GigaTrue Cat.6a cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. It operates at frequencies up to 650 MHz, providing the bandwidth necessary for high-speed network applications including 10GBASE-T Ethernet. The cable maintains Category 6a specifications to ensure reliable performance at this speed over distances up to 100 meters.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet applications?
Yes, this cable supports both standard Power over Ethernet (PoE) and PoE+ applications. The 23 AWG conductors provide sufficient current-carrying capacity for delivering power to compatible devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras while simultaneously transmitting data.
What does the CMR/CMP jacket rating mean for installation?
The CMR (Communications Riser) and CMP (Communications Plenum) ratings indicate this cable meets fire safety standards for installation in both riser (vertical runs between floors) and plenum (air handling spaces) environments. This dual rating provides installation flexibility while complying with building codes for commercial and enterprise network deployments.
Why does this cable have bare wire ends instead of connectors?
The bare wire ends allow for custom termination to match specific connector requirements in your network infrastructure. This provides installation flexibility for creating patch cables of exact lengths, terminating to keystone jacks for wallplates, or connecting directly to punch-down blocks in patch panels. Custom termination ensures optimal cable management and reduces waste compared to pre-terminated cables.
What are the advantages of the 1000-foot bulk length?
The 1000-foot bulk length provides cost-effective deployment for large-scale network installations by reducing the number of splices and connections needed. It allows installers to create custom-length cables for specific runs, minimizing waste and ensuring optimal cable management. Bulk packaging is particularly advantageous for structured cabling systems in enterprise environments, data centers, and commercial buildings.
Is this cable compliant with government procurement requirements?
Yes, this cable is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for government procurement where such compliance is required. The cable is manufactured in Taiwan, meeting the country of origin requirements for TAA compliance. This ensures the product can be used in federal government contracts and other procurement scenarios requiring TAA-compliant products.
