FAQs

What are the key features of the Black Box GigaTrue CAT6 Bulk Cable?
The Black Box GigaTrue CAT6 Bulk Cable features 550-MHz solid bulk cable (UTP) designed for high-performance networks, delivering speeds up to 550 MHz/1 Gbps. It includes 23 AWG 4-pair solid copper wire construction, supports both full and half-duplex operation, and comes with the Accu-Pull Measuring System to track remaining cable length. The cable is flame retardant, features a PVC jacket, and is ETL verified. It's available in a 1000-foot length with violet coloring.
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this cable?
This GigaTrue CAT6 cable supports a data transfer rate of up to 1 Gigabit per second (1 Gbit/s) with a frequency bandwidth of 550 MHz. This provides excellent headroom over standard CAT6 specifications, ensuring reliable high-speed data transmission for demanding network applications and digital video networks.
What certifications and standards does this cable meet?
The Black Box GigaTrue CAT6 cable is ETL Verified and complies with ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 Category 6 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards. It's also TAA compliant and manufactured in South Korea. These certifications ensure the cable meets industry standards for performance, reliability, and quality in network installations.
What type of jacket and insulation does this cable use?
This cable features a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) outer jacket with CMR rating for flame retardance, and High-density Polyethylene (HDPE) insulation. The combination of these materials provides durability and protection while maintaining optimal signal integrity. The jacket is violet in color and designed for standard indoor installations.
What is the Accu-Pull Measuring System?
The Accu-Pull Measuring System is a built-in feature that allows users to know exactly how much cable remains on the spool. This eliminates guesswork and the need for manual measuring, making it easier to plan and execute cable installations efficiently and accurately.
