Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 6 cable operates at 550 MHz bandwidth, supporting 10/100/1000BASE-T networks with backward compatibility to Cat5e. The solid copper conductors reduce signal attenuation, maintaining performance across the full 1000-foot length. The 23 AWG gauge provides durability and consistent electrical characteristics.
The cable features a flame-retardant PVC jacket rated CMP (Communications Plenum), suitable for installation in plenum spaces without conduit. It is unshielded (UTP), which simplifies installation while still meeting EMI resistance requirements for typical office environments.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Product Color, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this CAT6 cable?
This Black Box GigaTrue CAT6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet). It is designed for 10/100/1000BASE-T networks, providing reliable high-speed connectivity for business applications. The 550 MHz bandwidth ensures performance for demanding data, voice, and video transmissions.
Can this cable be used in plenum spaces?
Yes, this cable features a CMP (Communications Plenum) rated jacket, making it suitable for installation in plenum spaces such as drop ceilings and raised floors. The flame-retardant PVC jacket meets fire safety standards, reducing smoke and flame spread in air-handling areas without requiring conduit.
What does 'bare wire ends' mean for this cable?
Bare wire ends indicate that the cable does not come pre-terminated with connectors. This allows installers to customize termination with RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, or patch panels based on specific project needs. It provides flexibility for structured cabling systems and reduces waste in bulk installations.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, meaning it does not have additional foil or braid shielding. UTP cables are commonly used in office environments where EMI interference is minimal, offering easier installation and cost-effectiveness while still meeting performance standards for Gigabit Ethernet.
What is the warranty for this Black Box network cable?
Black Box provides a lifetime limited warranty for this CAT6 bulk cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, ensuring long-term reliability for infrastructure installations. It reflects the product's durability and suitability for commercial use in business networks.
Is this cable TAA compliant?
Yes, this cable is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for use in U.S. government contracts and institutional procurement. TAA compliance ensures the product meets sourcing requirements, supporting deployments in public sector, education, and healthcare environments where regulatory standards are critical.
