Black Box EYN878A-PB-1000

Overview

The Black Box EYN878A-PB-1000 is a 1000-foot pull-box of GigaTrue Category 6 Ethernet cable designed to extend or upgrade copper networks with reliable performance. Rated for 550 MHz bandwidth and supporting data rates up to 1 Gbps, it efficiently handles data, voice, and digital video transmissions. This cable is well suited for office backbones, school labs, production floors, and small data centers that require stable network connections without the higher cost of fiber optics.

Featuring four pairs of 23 AWG solid copper conductors in an unshielded twisted pair configuration, the cable maintains low insertion loss and controls crosstalk to meet TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards. Its PVC violet jacket is flame retardant with a CMR riser rating, making it safe for vertical shaft installations between floors. The polyolefin insulation around each conductor protects signal integrity even when the cable is bent or pulled during installation.

To improve efficiency on site, the cable includes the Accu-Pull Measuring System printed along the jacket, allowing installers to see the remaining length and cut precise drops, reducing waste and managing material costs effectively. Fully compliant with ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-C.2, it integrates seamlessly with Category 6 jacks, patch panels, and switches from any standards-based vendor.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed to work seamlessly with any standards-based Category 6 network components, including jacks, patch panels, and switches. Its compliance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-C.2 ensures it supports gigabit Ethernet connections and integrates smoothly into existing structured cabling systems. The unshielded twisted pair design is ideal for environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal or controlled.

Installation and setup

The 1000-foot pull-box format simplifies cable handling and deployment, allowing installers to pull out the exact length needed without tangling or excess waste. The Accu-Pull Measuring System printed on the jacket provides real-time length measurement, helping to plan cable runs precisely and reduce material costs. The cable’s flexible polyolefin insulation and flame-retardant PVC jacket make it suitable for riser installations in vertical shafts, meeting safety requirements without the need for more expensive plenum-rated cable.

Ideal uses and environments

This Ethernet cable fits well in office networks, educational facilities, production floors, and small data centers where reliable gigabit connectivity is essential. It is a strong choice for network managers who want to upgrade copper infrastructure with a cost-effective cable that supports current and near-future bandwidth demands. Its riser-rated jacket makes it suitable for multi-floor buildings where cables run between floors, while the solid copper conductors ensure stable and consistent signal transmission over long distances.

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.
