Black Box C6ABC50S-RD-1000

Overview

The Black Box C6ABC50S-RD-1000 is a CAT6A shielded Ethernet cable designed for high-performance network installations requiring reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. With a tested bandwidth of 650 MHz and 23 AWG solid copper conductors, it supports large data transfers, high-resolution video streaming, and backup operations with minimal signal loss. The cable’s durable red PVC jacket and shielding make it suitable for data centers, wiring closets, and equipment racks where interference reduction and easy identification are critical.

Key features

• Supports full 10 Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth with a 650 MHz rating for fast and stable data transmission
• Shielded with overall aluminum and Mylar foil to block external noise and reduce alien crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity
• Four twisted pairs with internal cross divider maintain pair geometry for consistent network performance
• 23 AWG solid copper conductors provide stable electrical characteristics and long-term reliability
• Red PVC jacket enhances durability and allows quick cable identification in crowded network environments
• Compact 0.283 inch (7.3 mm) diameter enables smooth cable pulls through conduit and easy terminations
• Compatible with IEEE 802.3 and 10GBASE-T standards, making it suitable for modern high-speed network setups

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed to support 10GBASE-T Ethernet networks and is fully compatible with all devices and infrastructure that adhere to IEEE 802.3 standards. It works well for horizontal cabling between patch panels and switches, as well as direct connections to high-speed storage arrays and AV equipment requiring high bandwidth and low interference.

Ideal uses and environments

The cable’s shielding and robust construction make it a strong choice for data centers, wiring closets, and equipment racks where interference can degrade network performance. Its red jacket helps technicians quickly identify and trace cables during installation or maintenance, which is especially valuable in complex or crowded setups. IT managers and system integrators will find it well suited for environments demanding consistent 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over long cable runs.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
