Black Box C6U-R-SB-STR-BL-8 CAT6 UTP Stranded Ethernet Cable
Overview
The Black Box C6U-R-SB-STR-BL-8 is an 8-foot, stranded, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Category 6 Ethernet cable. Designed for reliable data transmission in network infrastructure, this blue cable is suitable for patch cord applications where flexibility is required. It ensures consistent connectivity for devices within a local area network, supporting gigabit speeds necessary for modern surveillance systems and data networks.
Compatibility
This CAT6 cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment featuring RJ45 connectors, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, and workstations. It is suitable for use with any system requiring a Category 6 or lower rated Ethernet connection (e.g., CAT5e, CAT5). Its stranded conductor construction makes it ideal for patch panel to device connections where repeated flexing or movement is expected.
Installation Notes
The stranded copper conductors offer greater flexibility than solid conductors, making the C6U-R-SB-STR-BL-8 easier to route in tight spaces and less prone to damage from bending. Ensure RJ45 connectors are properly terminated to maintain signal integrity and achieve optimal performance up to 100 meters for standard Ethernet runs. For patch cord applications, the flexibility is key to avoiding strain on ports.
