Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 patch cable operates at 250 MHz, meeting TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for enhanced performance. The S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding combines an overall foil shield with individual pair foiling, significantly reducing crosstalk and external noise. This construction supports Near End Cross Talk (NEXT) protection, ensuring signal integrity in environments with high electromagnetic interference.
The cable's 26 AWG stranded core allows for repeated bending without breakage, making it ideal for movable connections. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) PVC jacket is rated for use in plenum spaces where fire safety is a concern, though local codes should always be verified. Gold-plated contacts maintain conductivity over time, minimizing signal loss and ensuring consistent gigabit Ethernet performance.
Key Product Advantages
This Black Box patch cable delivers professional-grade networking with features that enhance reliability and ease of use. The slim molded boot prevents snagging and reduces stress on connectors, extending cable life in high-traffic areas. S/FTP shielding ensures stable connections even in electrically noisy environments, critical for maintaining network uptime in offices, data centers, and industrial settings.

FAQ
What is the cable length and how does it affect deployment?
This cable is 25 feet (7.62 meters) long, making it suitable for medium-distance connections in offices, server rooms, or between network devices. It provides enough reach to span typical desk-to-wall or rack-to-rack setups without excessive slack, while the stranded construction allows for flexible routing around obstacles.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends feature RJ-45 male connectors, each with a single port. The connectors are gold-plated to resist corrosion and maintain optimal conductivity, ensuring reliable gigabit Ethernet connections for switches, routers, computers, and other network equipment.
How does the S/FTP shielding benefit network performance?
S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding combines an overall foil screen with individual pair foiling to protect against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. This reduces crosstalk and signal degradation, which is crucial in environments with high electrical noise, such as near machinery or in dense network cabinets, ensuring consistent 1 Gbit/s data transfer.
What does the CM rating on the jacket indicate?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating means the PVC jacket meets safety standards for use in commercial buildings, including plenum spaces where fire resistance is important. It ensures the cable is suitable for installations in walls, ceilings, and other areas subject to building codes, providing peace of mind for IT managers.
Is this cable compatible with all network devices?
Yes, this CAT6 patch cable is fully compatible with standard network devices that use RJ-45 ports, including switches, routers, computers, printers, and IP phones. It supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 equipment, making it a versatile choice for upgrading or expanding existing networks.
What warranty does Black Box offer for this cable?
Black Box provides a lifetime limited warranty for this patch cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship. This long-term support reflects the product's durability and reliability, offering added value for businesses that depend on consistent network connectivity.
