Black Box CAT6APCS-005-BL Cat6a Shielded Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box CAT6APCS-005-BL is a 5-foot shielded Category 6a patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in demanding network environments. It exceeds TIA/EIA 568.2-D standards, ensuring reliable performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications up to 100 meters. This cable is ideal for connecting network devices in server rooms, data centers, or any location where data integrity and speed are critical, such as linking network switches to surveillance NVRs or workstations.
Compatibility
This CAT6A cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks but is optimized for Cat6a performance. It is suitable for use with any network device featuring standard RJ45 connectors, including but not limited to: 10/100/1000/10GBASE-T Ethernet switches, routers, patch panels, network interface cards (NICs), and IP cameras. Its shielded construction makes it particularly well-suited for environments with potential electromagnetic interference (EMI) that could affect unshielded cables.
Installation Notes
Features snagless boots to protect the RJ45 connectors during installation and removal. The shielded construction requires proper grounding at both ends of the cable run to effectively mitigate EMI. Ensure that connected network equipment also supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds to achieve maximum throughput.
