Description

Black Box CAT6PC-020-BK Cat6 Patch Cable

Overview

The Black Box CAT6PC-020-BK is a 20-foot, black Category 6 Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in commercial networking environments. This cable ensures stable connectivity for surveillance cameras, network switches, and other IP-enabled devices, minimizing signal loss and interference over its length. It's suitable for direct connections between devices or for extending existing network runs where a specific length is required.

Compatibility

This CAT6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5 and Cat5e networks, but is optimized for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 55 meters. It interfaces with any standard RJ45 Ethernet port found on network switches, routers, NVRs, IP cameras, and workstations. Use this cable for connecting devices within the same rack or for short-to-medium runs between network closets and endpoints.

Installation Notes

Each cable features molded RJ45 connectors with strain relief boots to prevent damage during installation and use. The cable jacket is designed for standard indoor installations. For runs exceeding 55 meters for 10Gbps, consider fiber optic solutions or network extenders.
