Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable operates at 250 MHz, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and backward compatibility with CAT5e networks. The stranded conductor design (26 AWG) offers flexibility for frequent movement and routing, while the S/FTP shielding combines foil and braid layers to protect against both EMI and RF interference. This shielding is critical in environments with high electronic noise, such as industrial settings or densely packed server racks.
The cable's CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates suitability for use in plenum spaces, adhering to fire safety codes. Its molded boots prevent snagging and reduce wear at connection points, extending the cable's operational life. With a data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s, it handles bandwidth-intensive applications like video streaming, large file transfers, and VoIP without degradation.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable delivers superior reliability and performance for network infrastructure. Its S/FTP shielding ensures minimal signal loss in electrically noisy environments, while the gold-plated connectors maintain high conductivity and resist oxidation. The slim molded boot design not only protects the connectors but also allows for easy insertion and removal in crowded patch panels.
Durability and Safety
The CM PVC jacket provides flame-retardant properties, meeting commercial safety standards. The stranded construction offers flexibility without compromising durability, making it resistant to breakage from repeated bending.
- Lifetime warranty for long-term peace of mind
- Environmentally friendly materials reduce ecological impact
Performance Optimization
Features like Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) protection enhance signal clarity, reducing errors in data transmission. This ensures consistent network performance for critical business operations.
- Supports PoE applications up to standard limits
- Backward compatible with older CAT5e equipment
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is versatile for various networking scenarios, from small office setups to large enterprise data centers. Its 30-foot length provides ample reach for connecting switches, routers, servers, and workstations across rooms or floors. The orange color simplifies cable tracing and organization, reducing installation time and maintenance efforts.
Ideal for use in server rooms where high-density cabling requires reliable EMI shielding. It also suits educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and retail environments where network stability is crucial for daily operations. The stranded design makes it perfect for patch panels that require frequent reconfigurations or temporary setups.
Data Center Applications
Use in rack-mounted equipment to connect servers to top-of-rack switches. The S/FTP shielding prevents interference from nearby power cables or other network gear.
Office Networking
Connect workstations to wall jacks or network printers. The slim boot allows easy routing through cable management trays without snagging.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this CAT6 cable?
This Black Box CAT6 patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networks. It operates at a 250 MHz frequency, ensuring reliable performance for high-bandwidth applications like video conferencing, large file transfers, and online backups without signal degradation.
Does this cable have shielding, and what type is it?
Yes, this cable features S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding. This combines individual foil shielding around each twisted pair with an overall braid shield, providing robust protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This is essential for maintaining signal integrity in environments with high electronic noise.
What does the CM rating on the jacket mean?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates that the PVC jacket meets specific fire safety standards for use in commercial buildings. It is flame-retardant and suitable for installation in plenum spaces, ensuring compliance with building codes and enhancing safety in office or data center environments.
Are the connectors gold-plated, and why is that important?
Yes, the RJ-45 connectors on both ends are gold-plated. Gold plating provides excellent conductivity, reduces signal loss, and resists corrosion and oxidation over time. This ensures a reliable connection with minimal resistance, which is crucial for maintaining network performance and longevity, especially in humid or variable conditions.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this CAT6 cable is compatible with standard Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. The stranded conductors and shielding support both data and power transmission up to typical PoE limits, making it suitable for connecting devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points that require power through the Ethernet cable.
What is the warranty on this patch cable?
This Black Box patch cable comes with a lifetime warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the duration of its use. This warranty reflects the product's durability and reliability, providing long-term peace of mind for network infrastructure investments in business or institutional settings.
