Black Box CAT6A-RD-5M Shielded Cat6A Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box CAT6A-RD-5M is a 5-meter, black, shielded Category 6A patch cable designed for high-speed data networks where signal integrity is critical. Its construction minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, making it suitable for demanding environments such as industrial settings or areas with significant RF noise. This cable ensures reliable connectivity for IP cameras, network switches, and other critical surveillance infrastructure, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 100 meters.
Compatibility
This CAT6A cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that utilizes RJ45 connectors, including 10/100/1000BASE-T and 10GBASE-T Ethernet standards. It is suitable for connecting devices within a network infrastructure, such as IP cameras, NVRs, network switches, and workstations, particularly where shielding is required to combat interference.
Installation Notes
The cable features a shielded construction with foil shielding (SFTP) to protect against EMI. Ensure proper grounding of network equipment to maximize the effectiveness of the shielding. The 5-meter length is ideal for specific device-to-switch or device-to-device connections within a rack or a short distance across a workspace.
