Black Box 1000ft CAT6A 650MHz Shielded Ethernet Cable (Black)

Overview

The Black Box C6ABC50S-BK-1000 is a shielded CAT6A Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transmission up to 650 MHz. This 1000-foot spool is ideal for network environments that demand reliable and stable connections, such as data centers and enterprise networks. Its construction includes an internal separator and FEP insulation to minimize crosstalk and maintain signal integrity, even in electrically noisy settings.

With support for 10GBASE-T, this cable handles advanced networking applications requiring fast and consistent data flow. The slim 0.283-inch diameter and durable PVC jacket make it easier to install in tight spaces or complex cable management systems, providing a professional-grade solution for upgrading or building high-performance network infrastructure.
