Black Box Corporation CAT6A 650 MHz Shielded F/UTP CMR PVC Black 1000 ft

Application fit

This bulk cable is designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone runs and data‑center links that demand verified performance beyond 650 MHz. The foil shield and drain wire suppress alien crosstalk, making it suitable for dense cable trays where unshielded pairs would interfere. It is not intended for patch‑cord lengths or installations that require a plenum rating.

Installation context

The solid conductors and 0.271 inch outside diameter require punch‑down terminations on patch panels or keystone jacks rather than modular plugs. The CMR riser rating permits vertical runs between floors, while the PVC jacket handles standard indoor pathways. The internal separator maintains pair geometry during pulls, but the cable is not rated for outdoor or direct‑burial use.

Included advantages

The foil shield with drain wire simplifies bonding to grounded patch panels, reducing the need for additional grounding hardware. ETL verification confirms the 650 MHz headline and 10GBASE‑T support without separate field testing. The 1000 foot pull box feeds long continuous runs, minimizing splice points that could degrade signal integrity.
