Description

Black Box C6APC80S-BK-03 Shielded Cat6A Cable

Overview

The Black Box C6APC80S-BK-03 is a 1000-foot spool of shielded Category 6A cable, designed to maintain data integrity in environments prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Its construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 100 meters, making it suitable for demanding network backbones, data centers, and industrial automation deployments where signal quality is critical. The black jacket color aids in cable management and identification within structured cabling systems.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for use with standard RJ45 connectors and is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e systems, though it is optimized for Cat6A performance. It is suitable for any network device requiring Cat6A connectivity, including high-performance network switches, routers, IP cameras, and servers, particularly those operating at 10Gbps. Ensure termination hardware (jacks, patch panels) is also rated for Cat6A shielded applications to realize full performance.

Installation Notes

For optimal performance and to maintain the cable's shielding integrity, it is recommended to use appropriate shielded RJ45 connectors and termination tools. Ensure proper grounding of the cable shield at one end of the run to prevent ground loops while mitigating EMI. Avoid sharp bends exceeding a 4-inch radius to prevent damage to the internal conductors and maintain signal integrity. The cable is rated for installation in plenum spaces if applicable to your local building codes and fire safety regulations.
