Black Box CAT6A-BL-3M Shielded Cat6a Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box CAT6A-BL-3M is a 3-meter, shielded (S/FTP) Category 6a Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in demanding network environments. Its LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket makes it suitable for plenum spaces where fire safety is critical. This cable ensures reliable connectivity for network devices, supporting up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications without signal degradation.
Compatibility
This CAT6A-BL-3M cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment requiring Cat6a or lower category (Cat6, Cat5e) connections. This includes, but is not limited to, network switches, routers, servers, workstations, IP cameras, and VoIP phones from all major manufacturers. It is designed to meet the stringent requirements of 10GBASE-T networks.
Installation Notes
The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 connector tabs during installation and removal, preventing accidental disconnections. The stranded copper conductors offer flexibility, making it easier to route in tight spaces compared to solid core cables. The S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, crucial for maintaining data integrity in industrial or high-density network racks.
