Black Box 1000ft Premium CAT6A Shielded Ethernet Cable (White)

Overview

The Black Box C6ABC50S-STR-WH-1000 is a premium CAT6A shielded Ethernet cable designed to deliver consistent 10 gigabit Ethernet performance over a 1000-foot spool. It is engineered to minimize electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, making it ideal for environments with high electrical noise. This cable supports bandwidths up to 650 MHz and meets stringent ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801 Class EA standards, ensuring reliable data transmission for demanding network applications.

Key features

• Double shielding reduces interference, maintaining stable data, voice, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) connections.
• Stranded copper conductors provide flexibility, making it easier to route through tight spaces and create patch cords.
• CM-rated PVC jacket allows safe use for general-purpose in-wall installations.
• Sequential length markings on the jacket enable quick and accurate cable pulls, reducing waste and installation time.
• Designed to support 10 gigabit Ethernet throughput consistently across the entire 1000-foot length.
• Compliance with industry standards guarantees performance and compatibility with enterprise-grade networking equipment.
