Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 6 UTP patch cable meets industry standards for high-frequency data transmission with 250 MHz bandwidth. The 28 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility and durability for repeated installations and adjustments.
The cable incorporates Near End Cross Talk (NEXT) reduction technology to minimize signal interference in dense networking environments. Snagless boots protect the connector latches from accidental disconnection while strain relief features enhance cable longevity.
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.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
The Slim-Net design combines performance with practical installation benefits. The reduced diameter cable maintains full Cat.6 specifications while offering easier routing through cable management systems and reduced strain on connector ports.
Durability Features
Booted connectors with strain relief protect against physical damage, while the stranded construction resists breakage from repeated bending.
- Snagless boot design
- Strain relief construction
- Damage-resistant jacket
Performance Assurance
Gold-plated contacts ensure consistent electrical connectivity, while UTP construction with NEXT reduction maintains signal quality in high-density installations.
- Gold contact plating
- NEXT reduction technology

Deployment / Use Cases
This patch cable is ideal for connecting network equipment in server rooms, data centers, office environments, and educational facilities. The 5-foot length provides optimal reach for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch-panel connections without excess cable management.
Common applications include connecting switches to patch panels, linking wall outlets to computers or VoIP phones, and establishing temporary network connections for testing or reconfiguration. The green jacket allows for easy color-coding in complex network infrastructures.
Data Center Use
Connect servers to top-of-rack switches or link distribution switches in standard 19-inch racks where space optimization is critical.
Office Networking
Patch wallplates to desktop computers, network printers, or wireless access points in commercial office environments with structured cabling systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed this cable supports?
This Category 6 UTP patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. It meets Cat.6 specifications with 250 MHz bandwidth, making it suitable for high-speed networking applications including 10GBASE-T Ethernet when used with compatible equipment over shorter distances.
What type of connectors are on each end of the cable?
Both ends feature standard RJ-45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts. Each connector has a snagless boot design that protects the latch mechanism from accidental disconnection while providing strain relief at the connection point.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with no additional shielding. The Category 6 UTP construction uses twisted pair technology with Near End Cross Talk reduction to maintain signal integrity without metallic shielding, resulting in a more flexible and cost-effective cable solution.
What does the CM jacket rating mean?
The CM (communications) rating indicates the cable jacket meets specific flame-retardant requirements for use in communications spaces. This rating allows for installation in plenum areas where air circulation occurs, though local building codes should always be consulted for specific installation requirements.
Can this cable be used for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
Yes, this Category 6 patch cable supports Power over Ethernet applications. The 28 AWG conductors and gold-plated contacts provide reliable power transmission alongside data for PoE devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras.
What warranty comes with this network cable?
Black Box provides a lifetime limited warranty for this Slim-Net Cat.6 UTP patch cable. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, offering long-term reliability assurance for network infrastructure investments.
