Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat.6 UTP patch cable meets industry standards for unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling, providing robust performance without the need for additional shielding. The 28 AWG stranded conductors offer flexibility and resilience, reducing the risk of breakage during frequent handling or routing through cable management systems.
The cable's construction includes strain relief features and damage-resistant materials, ensuring it withstands the rigors of daily use in patch panels, wallplates, and network devices. Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) performance is optimized to minimize signal interference, maintaining clear data transmission across connected equipment.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Product Color, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this Cat.6 patch cable?
This Black Box Slim-Net Cat.6 UTP patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. It is designed to handle high-speed network traffic, making it suitable for applications like gigabit Ethernet, data center interconnects, and bandwidth-intensive office networks. The Category 6 specification ensures reliable performance for modern networking equipment.
What types of connectors are on each end of the cable?
Both ends of the cable feature RJ-45 male connectors. These connectors are standard for Ethernet networking and are compatible with most patch panels, wallplates, switches, routers, and computers. The contacts are gold-plated to enhance conductivity and resist corrosion, while snagless boots protect the latch mechanism from damage during installation.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, meaning it does not include additional shielding layers. UTP cables are commonly used in indoor environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal, offering a cost-effective and flexible solution for most network installations. The design focuses on reducing crosstalk through twisted pair construction rather than external shielding.
What does the CM jacket rating indicate?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating indicates that the cable is suitable for use in general-purpose indoor installations, including spaces like offices and data centers. It meets specific fire safety standards for low smoke production, making it a safe choice for plenum areas when required. The PVC material provides durability and resistance to physical wear.
Can this cable be used for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
Yes, this Cat.6 patch cable can support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. The 28 AWG conductors and Category 6 construction are capable of delivering both data and power to devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. However, for high-power PoE setups, ensure compatibility with your equipment's specific power requirements.
What warranty does this patch cable come with?
This Black Box Slim-Net patch cable is backed by a lifetime limited warranty. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, providing assurance of its quality and durability. For warranty claims or support, refer to Black Box Corporation's official policies and contact information.
