Black Box Corporation Cat6a 500 MHz Stranded Patch Cable 5 ft Green

SKU CH-65SZ-NN3HX

A green Cat6a stranded patch cable with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors supports 10 Gbit/s over 5 ft

  • Supports 10 Gbit/s data transfer with Cat6a 500 MHz rating
  • Snagless booted connectors prevent latch damage during frequent reconnects
  • Stranded 28 AWG conductors keep cable flexible for tight routing
  • Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts resist corrosion for reliable long-term connections
  • CM-rated PVC jacket meets in-wall fire-safety requirements

Cat6a patch cable for 10 Gbit/s links

This 5 ft Cat6a stranded patch cable carries 10 Gbit/s data rates over unshielded twisted pairs. Gold-plated RJ-45 male connectors on both ends plug directly into patch panels, wallplates or network devices. The green CM-rated PVC jacket meets RoHS environmental standards and is backed by a lifetime warranty.

Stranded conductors with snagless boots

Stranded 28 AWG conductors make the cable flexible for routing around tight corners in racks or desk runs. Snagless boots protect the latch during repeated insertion and removal, while moulded strain relief guards the termination point. Unshielded construction keeps the cable light and easy to dress without earthing concerns.

Fits standard keystone and panel ports

The RJ-45 male ends seat in any Category 6a-compatible keystone jack, patch panel port or switch interface without adapters. Stranded design avoids the stiffness that can stress board-level ports on dense switches. Green jacket colour simplifies cable management by letting installers identify this run at a glance.

Questions about this item

How do I install the RJ-45 connectors on this patch cable and what step is often missed?

Align the snagless boot tab with the port clip, push straight in until the connector clicks, then verify the latch is fully seated so the boot cannot be pulled off without depressing the tab.

What maintenance or replacement will this Cat6a stranded cable need over time?

Inspect the gold-plated contacts and snagless boots periodically; replace the cable if the boot tears, the latch breaks, or the jacket shows kinks that could affect the 28 AWG conductors.

What is the first performance limit reached on a 10 Gbit/s link using this 500 MHz UTP cable?

The 500 MHz bandwidth ceiling limits the maximum frequency the unshielded twisted pairs can carry before alien crosstalk degrades the 10 Gbit/s signal.
