FAQs

What are the key features of the Black Box Slim-Net Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable?

The Black Box Slim-Net Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable features a slim 28-AWG design with .161-inch diameter, offering 50% space savings compared to traditional 24-AWG cables. It supports 10 Gbit/s data transfer rates, includes snagless boots with strain relief, and 50-micron gold-plated contacts. The cable is designed for 750 insertion/extraction cycles, features damage-resistant construction, and comes with Near End Cross Talk (NEXT) protection. It's ideal for high-density Gigabit networking applications and meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 performance standards.

What is the data transfer rate and compatibility of this network cable?

This Cat.6 UTP patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet applications. It's compatible with various network devices, patch panels, and wallplates. The cable meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 performance standards and features RJ-45 male connectors on both ends for universal connectivity in standard networking environments.

What are the physical specifications of the cable?

The cable is 12 feet long and features an ultra-slim .161-inch diameter using 28-AWG conductors. It comes in green color with a PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) jacket material and CM-type jacket rating. The cable includes gold-plated contacts and snagless boots on both ends. Its slim design allows for improved airflow and better port visibility in dense installations.

How does the slim design benefit cable management?

The slim design provides multiple benefits for cable management: it saves over 50% space compared to traditional cables, allows easier handling during installation and maintenance, improves airflow between cables, enhances port visibility, and reduces or eliminates the need for horizontal cable managers. The small footprint and flexibility make it possible to route cables without dedicated cable managers and maximize space in vertical cable managers.
