FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this Cat.6 patch cable?
This Black Box Slim-Net Cat.6 UTP patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. It is designed to handle high-bandwidth applications such as gigabit Ethernet and 10GBASE-T networks, ensuring fast and reliable connectivity for office and data center environments.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of the cable feature RJ-45 male connectors. Each connector is gold-plated to ensure optimal signal transmission and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for repeated insertions and removals in patch panel and device connections.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. It does not include additional shielding layers, which makes it lighter and more flexible for general-purpose networking installations where electromagnetic interference is not a primary concern.
What does the CM rating on the jacket mean?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates that the cable jacket meets specific flame resistance and smoke production standards for use in commercial buildings. It is suitable for installation in plenum spaces and other areas where fire safety codes apply.
How does the snagless boot design benefit network installations?
The snagless boot protects the connector latch from accidentally catching on other cables or equipment, reducing the risk of disconnections and damage. This feature is particularly useful in dense patch panels and racks, where cable management and reliability are critical.
What warranty is provided with this patch cable?
Black Box offers a lifetime limited warranty for this Slim-Net Cat.6 UTP patch cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, providing long-term assurance for network infrastructure investments in business and enterprise settings.
