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 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?
This 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 makes it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networking applications and meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 performance standards for reliable data transmission.
What are the connector types and specifications?
The cable features RJ-45 Network Male connectors on both ends (1 x RJ-45 on each end). The connectors are equipped with 50-micron gold-plated contacts for superior conductivity and feature snagless boots for protection against connector damage during installation. They're rated for 750 insertion and extraction cycles, ensuring long-term reliability.
How does the slim design benefit installation and management?
The slim design provides multiple benefits: the 28-AWG cable has a diameter of only .161 inches, saving over 50% space compared to traditional cables. This allows for improved airflow between cables, better port visibility, and easier handling during installation and modifications. The small footprint and flexibility reduce or eliminate the need for cable managers, and more cables can fit in high-density 1U or 2U patch panels, maximizing rack space utilization.
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 Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket with CM rating, meeting environmental and safety standards for commercial installations.
