Black Box C6U-R-SB-STR-BL-17 Cat6 UTP Stranded Cable
Overview
The Black Box C6U-R-SB-STR-BL-17 is a 17-foot, black, Category 6 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Ethernet cable. It features stranded copper conductors, making it more flexible than solid core cable for applications requiring frequent movement or routing around tight corners. The PVC jacket provides basic protection for indoor, non-plenum environments. This cable is designed for reliable data transmission in standard networking deployments, ensuring consistent connectivity for devices like IP cameras, access control panels, or network switches.
Compatibility
This Cat6 cable supports data rates up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) over shorter distances (up to 55 meters) and 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) up to 100 meters. It is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards. Use this cable with any standard RJ45-terminated network devices, including IP surveillance cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), managed switches, and access control systems that require a wired Ethernet connection.
Installation Notes
The stranded conductor construction offers increased flexibility, simplifying installation in conduits or behind walls where bending radius is a concern. The PVC jacket is suitable for indoor use only; it does not meet plenum fire ratings. Ensure termination is performed correctly to maintain signal integrity and achieve optimal performance for your network infrastructure.
