Black Box C6S-R-SB-STR-RD-15 CAT6 STP Stranded PVC Cable
Overview
The Black Box C6S-R-SB-STR-RD-15 is a Category 6 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Ethernet cable featuring stranded copper conductors. This construction makes it ideal for applications requiring frequent cable movement or where flexibility is paramount, such as in mobile surveillance units, temporary network setups, or within tight-space installations where bending radius is a concern. The cable's shielded design protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring signal integrity for data transmission up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over shorter distances and 1 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters. The black PVC jacket provides basic protection and is suitable for indoor, non-plenum environments.
Compatibility
This cable is designed for use with standard RJ45 connectors and is compatible with all network devices supporting Category 6 or higher Ethernet standards. It is suitable for connecting IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), switches, routers, and other network-enabled equipment. Ensure your network infrastructure (switches, NICs) supports the desired speeds (e.g., 1000BASE-T, 10GBASE-T) to achieve optimal performance. It is recommended for use with other Black Box networking components and any standard network hardware.
Installation Notes
The stranded conductor construction offers superior flexibility compared to solid core cables, simplifying installation in confined spaces and reducing the risk of conductor breakage during repeated flexing. While STP offers enhanced noise immunity, proper grounding of the cable shield at both ends is critical to realize its full interference rejection potential. Use appropriate RJ45 connectors designed for stranded Cat6 cable to ensure reliable termination. This cable is rated for indoor use only and should not be installed in plenum spaces due to its PVC jacket.
