Black Box 1000ft CAT6 550MHz Stranded Ethernet Cable (Orange)

Overview

The Black Box EVNSL0649A-1000 is a 1000-foot spool of CAT6 Ethernet cable designed to provide reliable, high-speed network connectivity. Featuring a stranded 24 AWG copper conductor, it offers flexibility that makes it easy to route through tight spaces and around corners without kinking. Supporting frequencies up to 550 MHz, this cable handles gigabit Ethernet, fast Ethernet, and video applications with ample bandwidth and consistent performance.

Key features

• Flexible stranded copper conductor that withstands frequent bending and movement, ideal for patch panels and equipment racks
• Bright orange PVC jacket for quick identification in dense cable trays and complex installations
• Supports high-frequency signals up to 550 MHz, ensuring smooth gigabit Ethernet and video transmission
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design simplifies termination and routing without compromising signal integrity
• Meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 CAT6 and ISO/IEC 11801 Class E standards for guaranteed network performance
• Maintains full-duplex operation and full Power Sum performance across the entire cable length
• Bulk spool format allows custom-length cuts to fit specific installation needs, reducing waste and cost
