Black Box C6ABC51-YL-1000 Cat6 Cable

Overview

The Black Box C6ABC51-YL-1000 is a 1000-foot bulk spool of Category 6 Ethernet cable, designed for high-speed network deployments. This yellow cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) up to 328 feet (100 meters), making it suitable for backbone infrastructure, data centers, and enterprise network installations where bandwidth and reliability are critical. Its construction ensures signal integrity for demanding applications.

Compatibility

This Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 standards and is designed to work with standard RJ45 connectors and network devices. It is compatible with all network switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards that support Ethernet standards up to 10GbE, including those from major manufacturers like Cisco, Juniper, HP, Dell, and Ubiquiti, provided they adhere to industry standards. It is suitable for use in structured cabling systems for IP surveillance, VoIP, and data networks.

Installation Notes

For optimal performance and to meet 10GbE specifications over 328 feet, ensure proper termination using compatible RJ45 connectors and adhere to industry best practices for cable management. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension during installation, as these can degrade performance. Maintain a minimum bend radius of four times the cable diameter. Ensure proper grounding and bonding of the network infrastructure.
