Black Box EVNSL0616A-1000 CAT6 400-MHz Solid Ethernet Bulk Cable - Shielded (f/utp), CMP Plenum, RED, 1000'
Overview
The Black Box EVNSL0616A-1000 is a 1000-foot spool of shielded Category 6 Ethernet cable designed for high-performance data transmission in demanding environments. Its CMP (Communications Multipurpose Plenum) rating signifies compliance with strict fire safety codes for installation in air handling spaces, making it suitable for commercial buildings and data centers. The f/UTP (foil over unshielded twisted pair) construction provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), crucial for maintaining signal integrity in surveillance and network infrastructure deployments. This 400 MHz rated cable supports data rates up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter distances and is ideal for 100/1000 Base-T networks.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that utilizes RJ45 connectors, including managed and unmanaged network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, access control panels, and workstations. It is designed to meet or exceed TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for Category 6 cabling, ensuring interoperability with existing and future network infrastructure. Use with Black Box network switches, IP cameras, and other surveillance devices is recommended for optimal performance.
Installation Notes
The EVNSL0616A-1000 features a solid conductor construction, which offers superior performance and durability for fixed installations compared to stranded cable. It is rated for plenum spaces, requiring installation methods that comply with local building codes for CMP-rated cables. The shielding (f/UTP) requires proper grounding at one end (typically at the patch panel or switch) to effectively dissipate EMI/RFI. Ensure termination is performed using compatible CAT6 modular connectors or patch panels to maintain the cable's performance specifications. Avoid sharp bends exceeding a 4-inch radius to prevent conductor damage and signal degradation.
