Black Box C6U-R-SB-STR-BL-18 Cat6 UTP Stranded Ethernet Cable
Overview
This Black Box C6U-R-SB-STR-BL-18 is an 18-foot, black, Category 6 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) stranded Ethernet cable. It's designed for reliable data transmission in network installations where flexibility and ease of routing are critical. The stranded conductor construction makes it suitable for patch cord applications and connections that require frequent bending or movement, such as connecting devices at a workstation or between network equipment in a rack.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that utilizes RJ45 connectors, including but not limited to: IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), network switches, routers, and workstations. It supports data rates up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards. Use this cable for connecting devices within a structured cabling system or for temporary network links.
Installation Notes
The stranded copper conductors offer greater flexibility than solid conductors, making installation easier in tight spaces or where the cable needs to be routed around corners. Ensure that the cable is not subjected to excessive pulling tension to maintain signal integrity and connector integrity. The PVC jacket provides basic protection for indoor, non-plenum rated environments.
