Black Box CAT6-RETRACT Retractable Cat6 Ethernet Cable
Overview
The Black Box CAT6-RETRACT is a retractable Cat6 Ethernet cable designed for network installations where cable management is critical. This unit simplifies deployment by housing up to 15 feet (4.5m) of Cat6 cable on an internal reel, preventing tangles and reducing clutter in server racks, workstations, or conference rooms. Its black color blends into most IT environments, maintaining a professional aesthetic. The CAT6-RETRACT model addresses the common challenge of excess cable length in fixed installations.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with any standard Gigabit Ethernet network device requiring a Cat6 connection, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, workstations, and servers. It supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps over short distances, adhering to the Cat6 standard.
Installation Notes
The integrated reel allows for smooth extension and retraction of the cable. Ensure the cable is fully extended for optimal performance and to avoid strain on the internal mechanism. When retracting, guide the cable gently to prevent binding.
