Black Box CAT6A-RD-1M Shielded CAT6A Patch Cable - 1M, Red
Overview
The Black Box CAT6A-RD-1M is a 1-meter, red, Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair (SFTP) CAT6A patch cable. It's engineered to deliver robust, high-speed network connectivity for demanding environments, ensuring data integrity by mitigating electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. This cable is ideal for structured cabling systems requiring reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over short distances, such as connecting network switches to patch panels or workstations to wall outlets in environments with significant electrical noise.
Compatibility
This CAT6A cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT6 standards but is optimized for CAT6A performance. It is suitable for use with any network equipment featuring standard RJ45 connectors, including managed and unmanaged network switches, routers, servers, workstations, IP cameras, and VoIP phones that require CAT6A bandwidth. For optimal performance, it should be terminated with CAT6A-rated jacks or patch panels.
Installation Notes
The SFTP construction provides superior protection against EMI and RFI. Ensure proper grounding through the RJ45 connectors to fully leverage the shielding benefits. The 1-meter length is suitable for short, direct connections within a rack or between adjacent devices, minimizing cable clutter and signal degradation. Use standard RJ45 termination tools.
