Black Box C6U-R-SB-STR-RD-8 CAT6 UTP Stranded Cable
Overview
The Black Box C6U-R-SB-STR-RD-8 is an 8-foot, Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Ethernet cable designed for reliable data transmission in commercial network installations. Its stranded copper conductors offer flexibility, making it suitable for patch cord applications or installations where frequent movement or bending is expected. The red PVC jacket aids in cable identification and management within structured cabling systems. This cable is built to support Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and other high-speed data protocols, ensuring consistent performance for network devices.
Compatibility
This CAT6 UTP cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 network interfaces and equipment, including but not limited to: network switches, routers, firewalls, IP cameras, access control panels, and workstations. It supports data rates up to 1 Gbps and is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 standards. It is suitable for use in standard IT network infrastructure and surveillance systems requiring reliable Ethernet connectivity.
Installation Notes
The stranded conductor construction provides increased flexibility compared to solid conductors, simplifying installation in tight spaces or where the cable needs to be routed around obstacles. The PVC jacket offers basic protection against abrasion and environmental factors in indoor, controlled environments. Ensure proper cable management to avoid kinks or excessive strain, which can degrade performance.
