Black Box 15ft GigaTrue 3 CAT6 Shielded Locking Ethernet Cable (Green)

Overview

The Black Box C6PC70S-GN-15 is a 15-foot CAT6 shielded Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable gigabit data transfer with frequencies up to 250 MHz. It features a locking mechanism for enhanced physical security, making it suitable for environments where network stability and protection against accidental disconnections are critical. This cable supports data, voice, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, ensuring smooth performance even in electrically noisy settings.

Key features

• Shielded CAT6 construction reduces interference and supports stable 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T connections.
• LockPORT boot allows the use of keyed inserts to lock the plug or block the port, preventing unauthorized unplugging or accidental disconnections.
• Snagless plug design protects the latch from damage during cable pulls or re-routing in crowded racks or cable trays.
• 50-micron gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain low signal loss over time for consistent network performance.
• Tested beyond standard CAT6 requirements to ensure superior electrical performance and durability.
• Rated for up to 750 insertion and extraction cycles, providing long-lasting service in demanding network environments.
