Black Box C6U-R-SB-STR-GN-5 CAT6 UTP Stranded Ethernet Cable
Overview
The Black Box C6U-R-SB-STR-GN-5 is a 5-foot Category 6 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Ethernet cable designed for reliable data transmission in network infrastructure. Its stranded copper conductors offer flexibility, making it suitable for patch cord applications where repeated bending or movement is expected. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 connector clip during installation and removal, preventing accidental disconnections. This cable is ideal for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, and workstations in commercial or enterprise environments where consistent network performance is critical.
Compatibility
This CAT6 cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 standards but is optimized for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 55 meters. It is compatible with any standard RJ45 network port found on network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, computers, and other network-enabled devices. The stranded conductor construction makes it particularly well-suited for use as patch cables connecting devices within a rack or between a wall plate and a device.
Installation Notes
The C6U-R-SB-STR-GN-5 features snagless boots to protect the RJ45 connector's locking tab, simplifying installation and preventing damage during cable pulls or connections. The stranded 24 AWG copper conductors provide flexibility for patch cord applications. Ensure proper strain relief when connecting to devices to avoid undue stress on the connectors.
