Description

Black Box C6ABC50S-RD-1000 CAT6A 650-MHz Shielded Ethernet Bulk Cable

Overview

The Black Box C6ABC50S-RD-1000 is a 1000-foot spool of shielded CAT6A bulk Ethernet cable designed for high-performance data networking. Its 650 MHz bandwidth rating supports demanding applications like 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters, making it suitable for enterprise backbones, data centers, and high-density surveillance deployments where signal integrity is paramount. The cable features a red, CMR (Communications Multipurpose Residential) rated PVC jacket for in-wall and riser applications, ensuring compliance with building codes for vertical runs.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered to meet TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for CAT6A, ensuring compatibility with standard RJ45 connectors and network equipment supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet. It is suitable for use with any network switch, router, patch panel, or network interface card that adheres to CAT6A specifications. For optimal performance, pair with shielded CAT6A connectors and patch panels to maintain end-to-end shielding and prevent alien crosstalk.

Installation Notes

The cable's construction includes a foil shield and a drain wire to mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), crucial in industrial or high-noise environments. The CMR rating indicates it is suitable for use in vertical pathways between floors but not in plenum spaces. Ensure proper termination with shielded CAT6A keystone jacks or patch cords to maintain the integrity of the shielding. A minimum bend radius of 4 times the cable diameter should be observed during installation to prevent damage to the internal conductors and shielding.
