Designed for SMBs contending with interference, the cables offer enough bandwidth for high-speed data, audio, and video transmission in 1000BASE-T and 10GBASE-T network runs.
SMB business environments with plenty of interfering noise require shielded data cables. Black Box introduced three new CAT6 shieled cables this week for exactly these types of situations.
Each of the data networking hardware provider’s new CAT6 cables offers enough bandwidth for high-speed data, audio, and video transmission in 1000BASE-T and 10GBASE-T network runs. Shielding protects from electronic noise and EMI/RFI interference, and ensures smooth transmission.
All three new cable products feature a molded, slimline hood for high-density infrastructures, and all three come with Black Box’s Double Diamond lifetime warranty.
For horizontal network connections, Black Box is offering the CAT6 400-MHz shielded, solid backbone PVC cable (EVNSL0601MS). This F/UTP cable features an internal separator for better crosstalk performance, a drain wire, and an overall aluminum/Mylar tape shield.
For specialized applications that require flexibility plus double shielding, such as desktop connections on a factory floor or a noisy closet connection, the company is offering a CAT6 250-MHz shielded, stranded PVC cable (EVNSL0272). The SSTP cable features four twisted pairs individually shielded with a foam skin insulation and an aluminum/Mylar tape, which are covered with an overall tinned copper braid.
For backbone applications requiring solid cable and a plenum-rated jacket, Black Box is introducing the double shielded CAT6 400-MHz solid patch cable (EVNSL0273). This F/UTP cable features four solid copper pairs, an internal separator, Mylar tape, drain wire, and aluminum/Mylar tape shield.
