Thumbscrew Cable for Data Centre and Desktop

The Black Box Thumbscrew Cable provides connectivity from the data centre to the desktop and beyond. It is built for performance designed to last the lifetime of your cabling system. The cable uses high-performance copper for structured cabling systems and datacomm connections.

Suited for Structured Cabling and Industrial Use

This cable suits installers who need thumbscrew retention in structured cabling systems, data centres, industrial environments and multimedia systems. It is not for buyers who need fibre connectivity or cables without thumbscrew locking mechanisms.

Five Metre Length with Sixteen AWG Conductors

The five metre length handles typical rack-to-patch-panel and desktop runs. The 16 AWG conductors provide headroom for standard Ethernet signals. Very long runs beyond the supplied length will require a different cable.
