FAQs

What are the key features and specifications of the Black Box GigaTrue 550 CAT6 cable?
The Black Box GigaTrue 550 CAT6 is a high-performance network cable featuring 23 AWG 4-pair solid copper wire construction, supporting data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbit/s at 550 MHz. It's a UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable with a CMR-rated PVC jacket and HDPE insulation. The cable comes in a 1000ft pull-box configuration with an Accu-Pull Measuring System for accurate length measurement. It's flame retardant and carries certifications including ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 Category 6 and ISO/IEC 11801.
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this cable?
This GigaTrue CAT6 cable supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s (1 Gigabit per second) with bandwidth capabilities up to 550 MHz. This provides excellent headroom over standard CAT6 specifications, ensuring reliable high-speed data transmission for demanding network applications and digital video networks.
Is this cable suitable for in-wall installation?
Yes, this cable is suitable for in-wall installation as it features a CMR (Communications Riser) rated PVC jacket and is flame retardant. The CMR rating indicates that it meets fire safety standards for vertical runs between floors in building risers. Additionally, its solid copper 23 AWG construction provides the durability and performance required for permanent infrastructure installations.
What type of connectors does this cable come with?
This cable comes as bare wire on both ends (no pre-installed connectors). This allows for custom termination based on specific installation requirements, whether connecting to patch panels, network devices, or custom-length patch cables. Users can terminate the cable with appropriate RJ45 connectors or punch-down blocks as needed.
What is the Accu-Pull Measuring System?
The Accu-Pull Measuring System is a built-in feature of the cable's pull-box that allows users to track exactly how much cable remains on the spool. This eliminates guesswork and the need for manual measuring, making it easier to plan and execute network installations efficiently while avoiding cable waste.
