Description

Black Box CAT6PC-005-BL Cat6 Patch Cable

Overview

The Black Box CAT6PC-005-BL is a 5-foot, black Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed to provide reliable network connectivity for IP-based systems. This cable is essential for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, and workstations, ensuring stable data transmission for surveillance and IT infrastructure. Its 5-foot length is ideal for short-run connections within racks or between adjacent devices, minimizing cable clutter and simplifying installations.

Compatibility

This Cat6 patch cable is compatible with all standard Ethernet networking equipment that utilizes RJ45 connectors. This includes, but is not limited to, IP cameras from brands like Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua; network switches from Cisco, Ubiquiti, and Netgear; and network video recorders (NVRs) from various manufacturers. It supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) over distances up to 55 meters (180 feet), making it suitable for high-bandwidth surveillance streams and general IT networking.

Installation Notes

The cable features standard RJ45 connectors on both ends, allowing for plug-and-play installation. Ensure the connectors are fully seated in their respective ports to guarantee a stable connection. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, which can degrade signal integrity. The cable is designed for indoor use in temperature-controlled environments.
