Black Box CAT6APCS-020-BL Shielded CAT6A Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box CAT6APCS-020-BL is a 20-foot shielded Category 6A patch cable designed to exceed TIA/EIA 568.2-D specifications. This cable is critical for maintaining signal integrity in environments prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring reliable data transmission for high-bandwidth surveillance systems, data centers, and enterprise networks. Its shielded construction prevents crosstalk and noise, delivering consistent performance where data integrity is paramount.
Compatibility
This cable is engineered for universal compatibility with any network device utilizing standard RJ45 connectors. It is suitable for connecting IP cameras, network switches, NVRs, servers, workstations, and patch panels that require Cat6a performance. Specifically, it ensures optimal performance with devices supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) speeds over distances up to 100 meters, making it ideal for high-performance network infrastructure and demanding surveillance applications.
Installation Notes
The CAT6APCS-020-BL features a robust construction with a foil shield and drain wire to mitigate EMI/RFI. Ensure proper grounding of the network equipment and cable shield to maximize noise reduction. Terminations are factory-sealed to maintain shielding integrity. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends exceeding a 4-inch radius and do not exceed the 100-meter maximum segment length for Cat6a cabling.
