Black Box CAT6A Channel Solution: Guaranteed for Life, Guaranteed Performance.
Independent testingTo back up our performance claims, Black Box puts our channel solutions to the test. Black Box engages independent third-
party testing. Intertek Testing Services—ETL Semko, Inc. conducts ETL® Verification tests of our CAT6A, CAT6, and CAT5e channels.
Four times a year, an ETL inspector visits Black Box and randomly selects cable and cabling products from our warehouse for ongoing performance testing. The result time and time again: Black Box channels exceed all key measurements for their respective categories.
Plus, Black Box’s GigaTrue® CAT6A, GigaTrue CAT6, and GigaBase® CAT5e bulk cable are all component-level tested.
Passive testingIn passive testing, the channel solution is tested against the appropriate specifications. The results indicate how much
headroom the products provide above the specification. These are important numbers to consider because you want your system to have enough headroom to accommodate future growth. For test results, contact us at 724-746-5500.
UL® large-scale fire testingIn addition to independent laboratory testing of our channels, Black Box puts our bulk cable through independent
laboratory testing at UL to further ensure consistent quality and burn resistance.
Four times a year, we randomly select samples from our warehouse and send them to the UL large-scale fire-testing facility. There, the cables are subjected to PVC-rated (CM and CMR) vertical tray and bundle burn tests and plenum (CMP) Steiner tunnel burn tests. Black Box cable passes with flying colors.
UL Market Surveillance ProgramBlack Box willingly participates in the UL Market Surveillance Program as one more means of assuring the compliance
of our cabling products. As a distributor of UL® Listed cables, Black Box products are made available for purchase by UL representatives for countercheck testing at the UL lab. UL verifies compliance of listed cables in the marketplace as part of its overall Mark Integrity Program.
Guaranteed performance.
Guaranteed for life.For performance designed to last the lifetime of your structured cabling system, choose Black Box channel solutions. These structured cabling systems are designed to work together so you get the absolute best channel performance.
To fully back our claims of quality and performance, we guarantee—for life—every component in our channel solutions. If it fails, we’ll replace it. Black Box’s unbeatable Double Diamond™ Warranty covers everything from manufacturing defects to accidental damage—including water and surge damage.

Black Box Explains
CAT6Ae
Augmented Category 6 (CAT6A)–Class Ea was ratified in February 2008 and is specified in ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 (Balanced Twisted-Pair Communications Cabling and Components Standard). This standard calls for 10-Gigabit Ethernet data transmission over a 4-pair copper cabling system up to 100 meters. It supports 10-GbE installations up to 55 meters. CAT6A extends CAT6 electrical specifications from 250 MHz to 500 MHz. It replaces the term Equal Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT) with Attenuation to Crosstalk Ratio, Far-End (ACRF) to mesh with ISO terminology. CAT6A provides improved insertion loss over CAT6. It is well-suited for use with PoE+. CAT6A is a good choice for noisy environments with lots of EMI.
10-GbECAT6A is currently the cable of choice for 10-GbE installations.
You will typically replace your electronic equipment three to five times during the lifespan of one cabling system, which can be as long as 10–20 years. That’s why you should consider getting the best cabling you can, CAT6A minimum. It has been extensively tested and has been proven to support 10-GbE systems with plenty of headroom.
ANEXTCAT6A introduces ANEXT, which
wasn't a concern with previous cabling categories. Alien Crosstalk (ANEXT) is a critical and unique measurement in 10-GbE networks. It’s the measurement of the unwanted signal coupling between wire pairs in different and adjacent cables or from one balanced twisted-pair component, channel, or permanent link to another.
The amount of ANEXT depends on a number of factors, including the type of cable, cable jacket, cable length, cable twist density, proximity of adjacent cables and connectors, and EMI. Patch panels and connecting hardware are also affected by ANEXT.
Typically in a laboratory, measuring alien crosstalk is based on cables in a ”six-around-one” configuration. The central or affected cable is called the victim cable and the surrounding, adjacent cables are the disturber cables. This test configuration bundle presents a worst-case scenario, and the center cable would be adversely affected by ANEXT. A total of seven equal length links are connected to each other at previously defined distances. Every pair is measured against the other so there are 96 individual measurements.
CAT6A UTPCAT6A UTP cable is larger than CAT6A F/UTP and CAT6 cable.
It is constructed to minimize crosstalk and ANEXT with larger conductors (23 AWG minimum), tighter twists, extra internal airspace, an internal separator between the pairs, and a thicker outer jacket. The outside diameter of CAT6A cable averages 0.29"–0.35" maximum (9 mm) compared to 0.265–0.30" for CAT6A F/UTP and 0.21"–0.24" for CAT6 cable.
ANEXT can be improved by laying CAT6A UTP cable loosely in pathways and raceways with space between the cables, as opposed to tight bundles of cable. CAT6A UTP also needs to be
tested for ANEXT. This is a complex and time-consuming process where all possible wire-pair combinations need to be tested for ANEXT and far-end ANEXT. It can take up to 50 minutes to test one link in a bundle of 24 CAT6A UTP cables.
CAT6A F/UTPANEXT and the time needed to test for it can be greatly reduced,
if not eliminated completely, by using shielded cables and equipment to isolate adjacent cables from each other. Studies have shown that CAT6A F/UTP cable does a much better job of eliminating ANEXT than CAT6A UTP and provides significantly more headroom (as much as 20 dB) for 10-GbE over copper. The foil shield acts as a barrier preventing EMI/RFI from coupling onto the twisted pairs from other adjacent cables. In effect, it reflects the noise from machinery, lights, motors, and other sources of EMI, as well as RFI from cell phones, wireless access points, and radios. In addition, the foil shield prevents data signals from leaking out of the cable, making the cable more difficult to tap and better for secure installations.
