CAT6 250-MHz Bulk Cables support current
applications, like 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), 100BASE-VG,
and 155- or 622-Mbps ATM. In addition, this cable is ideal
for use in your future high-speed applications, such as
1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet).
CAT6 250-MHz Bulk Cables consist of four solid-conductor,
unshielded twisted pairs, constructed of 23 AWG solid, bare
copper. The PVC versions are insulated with polyolefin, and
the plenum versions have FEP insulation.
All cables come on 1000-foot (304.8-m) reels and are
available in various colors. Each cable features central-slit filler
film, a ripcord, and flexible jacket. All jackets are sequentially
marked at two-foot intervals. Copper pairs are distinguished
by these colors:
Pair 1: Blue/white, blue;
Pair 2: Orange/white, orange;
Pair 3: Green/white, green;
Pair 4: Brown/white, brown.
CAT6 250-MHz Bulk Cables are also smart-priced solutions
for high-speed networking. For example, you get superreliable 250-MHz performance, compared to 100-MHz
Category 5 and 5e. And since these cables come in 1000-ft.
(304.8-m) lengths for those long runs, you’re getting a lot of
cable for your cash.
CAT6 250-MHz Bulk Cables also meet tougher requirements than Category 5 and 5e cables, especially with the
standards for system noise and the limitation of various forms
of crosstalk.
The Category 6 standard is defined per frequency for
attenuation, characteristic impedance, and five different
categories of loss and delay skew for cable performance.
For example, Category 6 measures attenuation (minimum
at 100 MHz) at 19.8 dB, which is much more stringent than
the 22-dB measurement for Category 5 and 5e.
So if you’re looking for superior performance at an
economical price, CAT6 250-MHz Bulk Cables are the cables
you need now—and for the future.

Recognize any of these situations?
• You wait more than 30 minutes to get through
to a vendor’s tech support.
• The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you
the wrong answer.
• You don’t have a purchase order number and the
tech refuses to help you.
• It’s 9 p. m. and you need help, but your vendor’s
tech support line is closed.
According to a survey by Data Communications
magazine, 90% of network managers surveyed say
that getting the technical support they need is extremely
important when choosing a vendor. But even though
network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their
overall purchase price for a basic service and support
contract, the technical support and service they receive falls
far short of their expectations— and certainly isn’t worth
what they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the
best support. You can even consult our Technical Support
Experts before you buy if you need help selecting just
the right component for your application.
