FAQs

What are the key features of the Black Box GigaTrue 3 Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable?
The Black Box GigaTrue 3 Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable features premium performance specifications including 550-MHz testing capability, 1-Gbps data transfer rate, and 50-micron gold-plated contacts. It comes with a rugged LockPORT boot system, snagless design, and supports PoE (Power over Ethernet). The cable uses 24-AWG copper conductors and is designed for 750 insertion/extraction cycles. Notable features include NEXT (Near End Cross Talk) reduction, damage-resistant construction, and optional port locking functionality for security.
What is the cable's performance capability and certification standards?
This Cat.6 cable exceeds ANSI/TIA industry standards with testing up to 550-MHz, surpassing the standard 250-MHz CAT6 specification. It supports 1-Gbps data transfer rates and complies with ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 Class E standards. The cable is UL certified (E196163-Y) and RoHS compliant. Its performance characteristics include reduced impedance, structural return loss, and near-end crosstalk (NEXT) for optimal Gigabit Ethernet applications.
How does the LockPORT security feature work?
The LockPORT security feature offers two locking options: Red Pin for mission-critical security and Green Pin for accident prevention. For high-security needs, insert the red locking pin (sold separately) into the boot, which requires a special removal tool to unlock. For basic security, use the green locking pin with butterfly tabs that can be removed without tools. This system is ideal for securing ports in government offices, public areas, manufacturing facilities, and other environments requiring port security.
What are the physical specifications and construction details of the cable?
The cable is 10 feet long and features a four-pair 24-AWG copper conductor construction. It uses a PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) jacket with CM rating and comes in green color. Both ends are terminated with RJ-45 male connectors featuring 50-micron gold-plated contacts. The cable includes a hard-polymer LockPORT boot and integrated snagless plug design for enhanced durability. It's an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with stranded conductors.
What devices and applications is this cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with network devices, wallplates, and patch panels. It's specifically designed for bandwidth-intensive Gigabit Ethernet applications and supports voice, data, audio/video, and PoE signal transmission. The cable's 1-Gbps performance makes it suitable for modern network infrastructure, servers, switches, routers, and other networking equipment requiring Cat.6 connectivity.
