Description

Black Box C6APC80S-BL-05 Cat6A Shielded Patch Cable

Overview

The Black Box C6APC80S-BL-05 is a 5-foot, blue, shielded Cat6A patch cable designed for environments where network connection integrity is paramount. Its lockable RJ45 connectors prevent accidental disconnections, making it ideal for high-vibration settings or critical infrastructure deployments like industrial automation, secure data centers, or surveillance systems where uptime is non-negotiable. This cable ensures reliable data transmission up to 10 Gbps over 100 meters, supporting the demanding bandwidth requirements of modern IP networks.

Compatibility

This Cat6A cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e systems but is optimized for Cat6A network devices. It is suitable for connecting network switches, routers, servers, IP cameras, and workstations that support Cat6A standards. The shielded construction is particularly beneficial when deploying near sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI), such as industrial machinery or high-power electrical equipment, ensuring signal integrity.

Installation Notes

The lockable RJ45 connectors require a specific tool (sold separately) for secure attachment and release, preventing accidental unplugging. Ensure the cable is routed to avoid sharp bends exceeding its minimum bend radius to maintain performance and prevent internal conductor damage. The cable's shielding requires proper grounding at both ends to be effective against EMI/RFI.
