Black Box C6ABC51-BL-1000 Cat6a Bulk Cable

Overview

The Black Box C6ABC51-BL-1000 is a 1000-foot spool of Cat6a bulk Ethernet cable, terminated in black. This cable is engineered to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to the full 328-foot (100-meter) standard, making it suitable for high-demand network infrastructure, including IP surveillance systems requiring maximum bandwidth and minimal signal degradation. Its construction is designed to minimize crosstalk and interference, critical for reliable data transmission in enterprise environments.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e systems but is specifically designed for 10GbE performance. It is compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and patch panels intended for Cat6a cabling. Use with Black Box's range of network infrastructure components, including switches, routers, and IP cameras that support 10GbE speeds, ensures optimal system performance. It is suitable for use with any network device requiring high-speed data transfer, such as high-resolution IP cameras, NVRs, and servers.

Installation Notes

For optimal 10GbE performance over the full 328-foot distance, ensure proper termination with Cat6a-rated connectors and patch panels. Avoid sharp bends exceeding a 4-inch radius, as this can compromise cable integrity and signal quality. The cable is designed for horizontal in-wall or overhead runs within commercial buildings. Ensure compliance with local building codes and network installation best practices.
