PATCHBOX CONE46UTPBK networking cable Black 2.5 m Cat6a U/UTP

Build your own Patchbox by filling a Frame with up to 24 Cable Cassettes. The PATCHBOX CONE46UTPBK is a 2.5 m networking cable in black that conforms to Cat6a U/UTP specification and is intended for high-speed Ethernet connections. The cable is terminated with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts and is compatible with the modular Patchbox cassette system, allowing fast cassette replacement and flexible rack configuration.

Advantages

The Cat6a U/UTP construction supports ISO-standard performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and allows use with Power over Ethernet (PoE). Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve signal conductivity and contact reliability. The 2.5 m length offers a balance between reach and cable management inside racks and cabinets, and the cable’s black jacket provides a neutral appearance that integrates into professional network environments.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Patchbox modular cassette installations in server racks and data cabinets
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections and other high-speed LAN links
• Connections requiring PoE and PoE++ power delivery
• Structured cabling where a 2.5 m pre-terminated RJ-45 cable is needed

How to use

Insert the pre-terminated cable into a compatible Patchbox Cable Cassette or use it as a standalone patch cable between network equipment. Route the cable through the rack or cabinet with appropriate cable management to avoid sharp bends. Ensure RJ-45 connectors are fully seated in patch panels, switches, or devices. For cassette-based setups, follow the Patchbox Frame and cassette instructions to lock the cassette into the frame quickly and securely.

Recommendations

Use Cat6a U/UTP cables within their specified bend radius and avoid excessive tensile strain when installing. Verify compatibility with PoE or PoE++ power levels on connected devices before prolonged use. For fiber requirements, consider Patchbox fiber cassettes with Corning® ClearCurve® when bend-insensitive fiber is needed.
