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 .161-inch diameter 28-AWG design that saves over 50% space 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 NEXT (Near End Cross Talk) protection, and comes with a damage-resistant construction. It's compatible with network devices, wallplates, and patch panels, making it ideal for high-density networking applications.
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this network cable?
The Black Box Slim-Net Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabits per second). This high-speed capability ensures reliable performance for Gigabit Ethernet signaling and meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 performance standards, making it suitable for demanding data center and network applications.
What are the connector types and specifications on this cable?
The cable features RJ-45 Network Male connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts for superior conductivity. Each connector is designed for an insertion and extraction life of 750 cycles. The connectors include snagless boots that provide additional strain relief and prevent damage during installation. This configuration makes it ideal for connecting network devices, wallplates, and patch panels.
How does the slim design benefit cable management?
The slim design offers several cable management benefits: the 28-AWG cable has a diameter of only .161 inches, saving over 50% space in bundles and patching connections compared to standard 24-AWG cables. This allows for improved airflow, better port visibility, and easier handling during installation. The small footprint and flexibility eliminate or reduce the need for cable managers, and users can gain more than 50% space in vertical cable managers.
What environmental certifications does this cable have?
The Black Box Slim-Net Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable is environmentally friendly and RoHS certified, ensuring compliance with restrictions on hazardous substances. The cable features a PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) jacket with CM rating, meeting environmental and safety standards while maintaining high performance capabilities.
