Description

Black Box C6ABC50S-BK-1000 Shielded Cat6a Bulk Cable

Overview

The Black Box C6ABC50S-BK-1000 is a 1000-foot bulk spool of shielded Category 6a Ethernet cable. Designed for high-bandwidth applications where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a concern, this cable ensures signal integrity for critical data transmission in environments like industrial facilities, healthcare settings, or areas with heavy electrical equipment. Its CMR (Communications Multipurpose Residential) rating allows for use in vertical runs within walls and between floors, making it suitable for structured cabling systems in commercial buildings. The 650 MHz bandwidth supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters, providing future-proof performance for demanding network infrastructure. The model number C6ABC50S-BK-1000 signifies its shielded construction, Cat6a performance, PVC jacket, black color, and 1000-foot length.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with standard RJ45 connectors and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 systems, though it achieves its full 10 Gbps performance when terminated with Cat6a connectors and used with compatible network devices. It is suitable for any network requiring 10/100/1000 Mbps or 10 Gbps Ethernet, including IP surveillance systems, VoIP deployments, and data centers. Ensure all connectors and patch panels are also rated for Cat6a performance to realize the full benefits.

Installation Notes

The cable features a black PVC jacket suitable for in-wall and riser applications (CMR rated). Shielded construction requires proper grounding at termination points to effectively mitigate EMI. Use appropriate shielded connectors and patch panels designed for Cat6a shielded cable to maintain signal integrity and prevent ground loops. A minimum bend radius of 4 times the cable diameter should be observed during installation to prevent damage to the internal conductors and shielding.
