Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 6 patch cable adheres to industry standards for high-frequency data transmission, supporting bandwidth up to 250 MHz. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility and durability, reducing breakage risks during installation and frequent handling. The snagless boot design protects the RJ-45 connectors from accidental disconnection and physical damage, enhancing cable longevity in high-traffic areas.
The cable is unshielded twisted pair (UTP), which simplifies installation while maintaining effective noise reduction through twisted pair geometry. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, allowing compatible devices to receive power and data over a single cable. Features like strain relief and damage-resistant construction ensure reliable performance in commercial environments.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines practical design with robust performance features tailored for professional network installations. The gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure optimal signal integrity and long-term reliability, while the snagless boots prevent latch breakage during cable management. The red color allows for easy identification in complex cable runs, reducing setup time and errors.
Durability and Protection
The stranded copper construction and PVC jacket provide flexibility and resistance to physical stress, making the cable suitable for frequent moves and adjustments. Strain relief features at the connectors minimize cable wear at critical points.
- Stranded conductors for flexibility
- Damage-resistant jacket
- Strain relief design
Performance Features
Engineered to minimize Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) and support Power over Ethernet, this cable ensures clean signal transmission and compatibility with modern network devices that require both data and power over a single connection.
- Reduced crosstalk
- PoE compatibility
- 1 Gbit/s throughput
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat.6 patch cable is versatile for various network deployment scenarios. It is commonly used to connect patch panels to switches or routers in server racks, providing the extended reach needed for large office layouts or data center aisles. The 100-foot length accommodates runs between floors or across wide open spaces without signal degradation.
In wallplate installations, this cable links network outlets to end-user devices like computers, printers, and IP phones, ensuring stable connectivity for daily operations. Its compatibility with PoE makes it suitable for powering devices such as wireless access points, security cameras, and VoIP phones, simplifying cable management and reducing infrastructure costs.
Data Center and Server Room Use
Ideal for connecting equipment in rack-mounted environments where long cable runs are necessary between distant racks or across room perimeters. The red jacket aids in tracing specific connections during troubleshooting.
Office and Commercial Building Networks
Supports structured cabling systems by linking wallplates to network closets, enabling reliable internet and intranet access for workstations and shared devices throughout the building.

FAQ
What is the length of this Black Box Cat.6 patch cable?
This cable is 100 feet long, which is equivalent to 30.48 meters. This length is suitable for connecting network devices across large rooms, between floors, or in data center environments where extended reach is required without using multiple shorter cables.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of the cable feature RJ-45 male connectors. Each end has a single RJ-45 connector, making it a standard patch cable for connecting network equipment like switches, routers, patch panels, and wallplates. The connectors have gold-plated contacts for improved signal transmission and corrosion resistance.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. It does not have additional shielding layers, relying on the twisted pair design to reduce electromagnetic interference. This makes it lighter and more flexible for easier installation in typical office and commercial environments where extreme interference is not a concern.
What data transfer speed does this Cat.6 cable support?
The cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second), which is standard for Category 6 cables. It is designed for high-speed network applications, including Gigabit Ethernet, ensuring fast and reliable connectivity for business networks, data transfers, and internet access.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices?
Yes, this cable is compatible with Power over Ethernet applications. It can deliver both data and power to PoE-enabled devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones. The 24 AWG conductors and construction support the power requirements without performance degradation.
What is the jacket rating and color of this cable?
The cable has a CM-rated jacket, which means it meets commercial building standards for safety and performance. The jacket is made of red Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), providing durability and easy visual identification in cable management systems. The red color helps distinguish it from other cables during installation and maintenance.
