FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this Cat.6 cable?
This Black Box Slim-Net Cat.6 UTP patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. This high-speed capability makes it suitable for demanding network applications, including Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit networks over shorter distances, ensuring fast and reliable data transmission for business environments.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of the cable feature RJ-45 male connectors with gold plating. This configuration provides a standard connection for networking equipment, such as switches, routers, patch panels, and computers, ensuring compatibility and reliable signal transmission with reduced corrosion over time.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This cable is unshielded (UTP), meaning it does not have additional shielding layers. UTP cables are commonly used in office and data center environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal, offering a cost-effective and flexible solution for most network patching needs without the bulk of shielded alternatives.
What does the CM jacket rating mean for this cable?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating indicates that the cable is suitable for general-purpose use in walls, ceilings, and other spaces where fire safety codes apply. This rating ensures the jacket material meets specific flammability standards, making it safe for installation in most commercial and residential building environments.
How does the snagless boot design benefit network installations?
The snagless boot design features a protective cover over the connector latch to prevent it from catching on other cables or equipment during installation or maintenance. This reduces the risk of accidental disconnections, connector damage, and downtime, making cable management easier and more reliable in high-density patching areas.
What is the warranty coverage for this patch cable?
Black Box provides a lifetime warranty for this Slim-Net Cat.6 UTP patch cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, offering long-term assurance and value for network professionals who require dependable cabling solutions for critical infrastructure.
