GigaTrue Cat6 550 MHz Patch Cable

This Black Box GigaTrue cable is a Category 6 UTP patch lead built for Gigabit Ethernet links. It carries RJ-45 male plugs on both ends and measures 6 ft (1.8 m). The cable is rated to 550 MHz and uses snagless booted connectors to protect the locking tabs during installation.

Desk and patch-panel runs needing a short blue link

The blue jacket makes the cable easy to identify in crowded racks or under desks. Snagless boots help prevent broken tabs when pulling through cable managers. Installers who require plenum-rated jackets, shielded construction, or lengths beyond 6 ft should select a different cable type.

550 MHz bandwidth sets the performance ceiling

The 550 MHz rating defines the maximum frequency the channel supports, which directly governs the cable's capacity for high-speed data. If the network design demands a higher frequency specification, this cable will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the 6 ft cable reach between my router and desktop without tension?

The cable is 6 ft (1.8 m) long, so measure the exact path between your RJ-45 ports before ordering.

How do I avoid damaging the snagless boots when plugging into a crowded patch panel?

Press the boot tab down gently while inserting the RJ-45 male connector; forcing it sideways bends the latch.

If the boot cracks after years of re-patching, can I replace just the boot?

The boots are moulded onto each RJ-45 male end, so a damaged boot means replacing the whole 6 ft cable.
