Black Box Cat6 Shielded Patch Cable, 7 ft, CMP

Maintain dependable network performance where interference is part of the environment. This Black Box shielded Cat6 patch cable is built for Gigabit Ethernet links in high-noise installations, combining F/UTP shielding with 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 contacts to help preserve signal quality across demanding runs. The CMP plenum-rated jacket supports use in ducts, plenums, and other environmental air spaces, making it a practical choice for commercial buildings that require code-conscious cabling. At 7 ft, the cable is sized for short rack-to-device or patch-panel-to-switch connections, reducing excess slack and keeping cable management tight. Molded slimline boots help the cable fit into high-density ports without adding unnecessary bulk, while strain relief supports the connector interface during repeated handling. Tested to 400 MHz and ETL verified to ANSI/TIA-568-C.2, it exceeds the baseline Cat6 performance target and is suited for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T deployments. For teams that need more than a commodity patch lead, this cable delivers the construction details that matter: shielding, plenum compliance, and contact quality. It is a strong fit for infrastructure where uptime, airflow, and signal integrity all carry weight.
