Know before you buy
Yes, this is a CAT6 cable capable of supporting speeds up to 1 Gbps and frequencies up to 550 MHz, making it well-suited for high-performance data and digital video applications.
The Accu-Pull Measuring System is a built-in feature on the spool that tracks how much cable you have used. It helps you manage your inventory and prevents guesswork by showing exactly how much length remains on the spool.
No, this cable features a standard PVC jacket and is designed for indoor use. It is not rated for outdoor environments or direct burial.
This cable uses 23 AWG solid copper wire. Solid wire is generally preferred for permanent, long-distance horizontal runs within walls or ceilings because it offers better signal integrity.
This is a UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable. It relies on the precise twisting of the internal wire pairs to minimize interference rather than an external metal shield.
Black Box provides a limited lifetime warranty on this product, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the cable.
