Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 6 patch cable meets industry standards for performance, with S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding that provides effective EMI/RF protection. The 24 AWG stranded conductors offer flexibility and durability, while the construction includes features like Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) reduction for clear signal quality.
The cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, allowing it to deliver both data and power to compatible devices. Its rugged design includes lockable boots for secure connections and damage-resistant materials that extend the cable's lifespan in high-traffic networking environments.
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.
Key Product Advantages
The GigaTrue 3 cable combines robust construction with practical features that enhance network reliability and ease of use. Its shielded design minimizes interference in electrically noisy environments, while the snagless boots prevent latch breakage during frequent insertions and removals.
Enhanced Durability
The stranded conductors and rugged PVC jacket resist physical stress, making this cable suitable for installations where cables are frequently moved or adjusted.
- Lockable boots for secure connections
- Damage-resistant construction
- Stranded wires for flexibility
Superior Signal Integrity
S/FTP shielding and gold-plated contacts ensure consistent performance by reducing crosstalk and maintaining conductivity over the cable's lifetime.
- EMI/RF protection
- Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) reduction
- Gold contact plating
Deployment / Use Cases
This patch cable is designed for a variety of networking scenarios where reliable, high-speed connections are essential. Its 10-foot length provides flexibility for connecting equipment within racks, between wall outlets and devices, or in office workstations.
Common applications include linking patch panels to switches in data centers, connecting wallplates to computers or VoIP phones in office environments, and establishing temporary network links for events or testing. The CM-rated jacket makes it suitable for use in plenum spaces where fire safety is a concern, while the PoE support allows it to power devices like wireless access points or security cameras.
Data Center & Server Room
Use for structured cabling between patch panels and network switches, where shielded cables help maintain signal quality in dense rack environments.
Office & Workspace
Ideal for connecting wall outlets to desktop computers, printers, or network devices, with the blue color aiding in cable identification and management.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the length of this Black Box patch cable?
This Black Box GigaTrue 3 patch cable is 10 feet long, which is approximately 3.05 meters. This length is ideal for most patch panel to switch connections, wallplate to device links, and other common networking scenarios where moderate reach is needed without excessive cable management.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
The cable has RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, each with gold-plated contacts for reliable conductivity. This standard connector type ensures compatibility with most network devices, patch panels, and wallplates that use Ethernet connections.
Is this Cat.6 cable shielded?
Yes, this is an S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) cable, meaning it has both individual pair shielding and an overall foil shield. This shielding provides effective protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which is important in environments with many electronic devices or industrial equipment.
What does the CM jacket rating mean?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates that the cable's PVC jacket meets specific fire safety standards for use in general-purpose commercial installations. CM-rated cables are suitable for running in risers, plenums, and other spaces within buildings where cable flammability requirements apply.
Can this cable support Power over Ethernet?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. The 24 AWG conductors and shielding are designed to handle both data transmission and power delivery simultaneously, making it compatible with PoE devices like wireless access points, security cameras, and VoIP phones that receive power through the Ethernet connection.
What is the warranty for this Black Box cable?
Black Box provides a lifetime limited warranty for this GigaTrue 3 patch cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, offering long-term assurance of quality and reliability for your networking investments.
