Black Box Corporation GigaTrue Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable 550 MHz

SKU CH-S0NN-SPCS8

A Cat.6 UTP patch cable tested to 550 MHz with full Power Sum performance and 25 ns delay skew for clean full-duplex data and video

  • Cleaner data and video transmissions with improved attenuation
  • Full Power Sum performance supports reliable full-duplex operation
  • Meets balance requirements (LCL/LCTL) for signal integrity
  • Maximum delay skew of 25 ns per 100 m (328 ft)
  • Impedance of 100 ± 15 ohms at 100 MHz and 100 ± 22 ohms up to 550 MHz

Purpose and audience

The Black Box GigaTrue Cat.6 UTP patch cable is built for installers and network engineers who need reliable broadband or baseband video links. Its 550 MHz channel rating supports full-duplex operation across structured cabling runs. Buyers who require shielded construction or higher category performance should select a different cable type.

Interface limits

The cable meets balance requirements for LCL and LCTL while delivering full Power Sum performance across the channel. Attenuation measures 23.6 dB at 100 MHz and 39.1 dB at 250 MHz, with impedance held at 100 ± 15 ohms at 100 MHz and 100 ± 22 ohms from 100 to 550 MHz. Maximum delay skew is 25 ns per 100 m (328 ft).

Deciding specification

The defining figure is the 550 MHz channel bandwidth, which determines whether the cable satisfies the project’s frequency budget. If the design calls for a lower or higher verified limit, this part will not match the specification.

Questions about this item

What length should I pick for a 550 MHz Cat.6 patch cable?

The 550 MHz rating is verified up to 100 m (328 ft); choose a length that keeps your run within that limit.

How much signal loss will I see at 250 MHz on this cable?

Attenuation is 39.1 dB at 250 MHz, so expect that insertion loss over the full 100 m channel.

What impedance tolerance does the 550 MHz Cat.6 cable hold?

Impedance stays within 100 ± 22 ohms from 100 to 550 MHz, keeping return loss in spec for Gigabit Ethernet.
