Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat.6a cable operates at frequencies up to 650 MHz, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet over distances up to 100 meters. It features four twisted pairs of 23 AWG bare copper wires, which enhance conductivity and reduce signal loss. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design simplifies installation while maintaining performance.
Key technical attributes include support for Power over Ethernet (PoE and PoE+), enabling simultaneous data and power delivery to connected devices. The cable is halogen-free, improving safety in case of fire, and incorporates Near End Cross Talk (NEXT) reduction for clearer signal transmission. Its TAA compliance ensures it meets U.S. government procurement requirements.
Key Product Advantages
This cable offers several advantages for network professionals. Its bulk length of 1000 feet provides flexibility for large-scale installations, reducing the need for multiple splices or connectors. The plenum-rated jacket allows safe installation in ceilings and other air-handling spaces without conduit, saving time and materials.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this Cat.6a cable?
This Black Box GigaTrue Cat.6a cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. It is designed for high-speed networking applications, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet, making it suitable for backbone connections and bandwidth-intensive tasks in enterprise environments.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this cable supports both PoE and PoE+ standards. It delivers power and data simultaneously to devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, simplifying installations by reducing the need for separate power cables.
Is this cable plenum-rated, and what does that mean?
This cable has a plenum-rated CMP/LSZH jacket. Plenum rating indicates it meets fire safety standards for use in air-handling spaces, such as ceilings and raised floors, without requiring conduit. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) construction minimizes toxic smoke emission in case of fire.
What are the connector types on this cable?
Both ends of this cable are bare wire, meaning they are not pre-terminated with connectors. This allows for custom termination with RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, or punch-down blocks, providing flexibility for specific installation requirements in patch panels or wallplates.
Is this cable TAA compliant, and why is that important?
Yes, this cable is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant. TAA compliance ensures it meets U.S. government procurement requirements, making it suitable for use in federal, state, and institutional projects that mandate sourcing from designated countries like Taiwan.
