FAQ
What is the length of this Black Box network cable?
This Black Box GigaTrue Cat.6 patch cable measures 10 feet (approximately 3.05 meters) in length. This standard patch cable length is ideal for connecting devices within racks, between nearby equipment, or from wall outlets to workstations in office environments.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
The cable features RJ45 male connectors on both ends, each with gold-plated contacts. This configuration provides a direct connection between network devices like switches, routers, patch panels, and computers without requiring adapters or gender changers.
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 like this are commonly used in office environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal, offering a cost-effective and flexible solution for most network installations.
What data transfer rate does this Cat.6 cable support?
This Category 6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second). It meets the performance specifications for Gigabit Ethernet networks, ensuring reliable high-speed connectivity for business applications, file transfers, and network communications.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this cable is compatible with Power over Ethernet applications. The 24 AWG conductors and construction support both data transmission and power delivery for devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras that receive power through the Ethernet connection.
What is the jacket rating and color of this cable?
The cable features a CM-rated orange PVC jacket. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates suitability for use in commercial building spaces, while the bright orange color provides easy visual identification for cable management and troubleshooting in network installations.
