Black Box EL06A-500 6-Conductor Bulk Cable

Overview

The Black Box EL06A-500 is a 6-conductor bulk cable designed for voice and low-speed data applications. Its 500-foot spool length makes it suitable for structured cabling runs within commercial buildings, connecting telephone sets, fax machines, or modems to network demarcation points or patch panels. The black jacket offers a discreet appearance in exposed conduit or plenum spaces.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with standard RJ11, RJ14, and RJ25 modular connectors and jacks commonly found in telephone systems. It is compatible with virtually all analog and digital telephone equipment, PBX systems, and basic data modems that utilize 2, 4, or 6 conductor wiring configurations. It is not intended for high-speed data networking (e.g., Ethernet) which requires Cat5e, Cat6, or higher.

Installation Notes

For optimal performance and to maintain signal integrity, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable run. Ensure connectors are properly crimped using appropriate tools to guarantee secure contact across all six conductors. The cable is rated for indoor use and should be protected from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.
