FAQ
What is the length of this Black Box network cable?
This Black Box GigaTrue Cat.6 patch cable measures 1 foot (0.30 meters) in length. This compact size makes it ideal for short connections within network racks, between patch panels and switches, or from wall outlets to nearby devices where minimal cable management is desired.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of the cable feature standard RJ-45 male connectors. Each end has one RJ-45 network connector with gold-plated contacts for optimal signal transmission and corrosion resistance. This symmetrical design makes it suitable for connecting any two Ethernet devices with RJ-45 ports.
Is this Cat.6 cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. It does not include additional shielding layers, which is typical for patch cables in controlled environments like office networks and data centers. The UTP construction provides reliable performance for Gigabit Ethernet while maintaining flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
What is the data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This Category 6 patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second). It meets Cat.6 specifications for Ethernet networks, providing sufficient bandwidth for most business applications, including file transfers, video streaming, and VoIP communications when used with compatible networking equipment.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable is PoE compatible. The 24 AWG stranded conductors and proper construction allow it to deliver both data and power to PoE-enabled devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. The gold-plated contacts ensure reliable power transmission alongside data signals.
What does the CM rating on the jacket mean?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates the cable jacket meets specific flame-retardant standards for commercial installations. CM-rated cables are suitable for use in spaces between floors, in risers, and in general commercial environments where fire safety codes apply to network cabling installations.
