Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 UTP patch cable utilizes unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction, providing effective noise reduction without additional shielding layers. The 28 AWG stranded copper conductors offer a balance of flexibility and conductivity, suitable for repeated bending in patch applications. The cable's design includes Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) mitigation features, maintaining signal clarity in high-density network environments.
The RJ45 connectors incorporate a snagless boot that prevents accidental disconnection and protects the latch mechanism from damage. The gold-plated contacts ensure low resistance and reliable electrical performance, while the PVC jacket material meets CM (communications) ratings for flame resistance in commercial spaces. This cable is environmentally friendly and backed by a lifetime limited warranty from Black Box.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable delivers reliable network performance with features tailored for professional IT infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the length of this Black Box patch cable?
This Black Box Slim-Net patch cable is 1 foot (0.30 meters) long. This short length is designed for precise connections in patch panels, between network devices, or from wall plates to equipment, minimizing excess cable clutter in rack-mounted or desktop setups.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
The cable features RJ45 male connectors on both ends. Each end has a single RJ45 network male connector with gold-plated contacts, ensuring reliable Ethernet connectivity for devices like switches, routers, computers, and patch panels.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. It does not have additional shielding layers, relying on twisted pair construction to reduce interference. This makes it suitable for most office and data center environments where extreme electromagnetic interference is not a concern.
What data transfer rate does this Cat6 cable support?
This Category 6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. It meets Cat6 performance standards for bandwidth and crosstalk, ensuring high-speed network connections for Gigabit Ethernet and beyond in compatible network infrastructure.
What is the jacket rating and material?
The jacket is CM-rated and made of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). CM (communications) rating indicates suitability for commercial installations, providing flame resistance and durability. The green color aids in cable identification and organization.
Does this cable include any protective features?
Yes, it includes a snagless booted design with strain relief. The snagless boots protect the RJ45 connector latches from damage during installation or movement, while strain relief reduces stress on the cable ends, enhancing overall durability in frequent-use scenarios.
