Black Box 20ft GigaTrue 3 CAT6 Shielded Ethernet Patch Cable (Gray)

Overview

The Black Box C6PC70S-GY-20 is a 20-foot CAT6 shielded Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver reliable Gigabit network performance while minimizing interference. Tested to 250 MHz, it supports high-speed data transfer standards including 1000BASE-T, making it suitable for demanding network environments where stable and fast connections are essential.

Key features

• Shielded S/FTP construction with foil around each twisted pair and the overall cable bundle to block electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, ensuring clean data transmission even near motors or fluorescent lighting.
• 50 micron gold-plated contacts inside the RJ45 connectors reduce resistance and maintain strong conductivity for consistent network performance.
• Snagless plug design with a LockPORT boot that accepts optional locking or blocking keys, providing added security to prevent accidental unplugging or unauthorized disconnections.
• Connectors rated for approximately 750 insertion and extraction cycles, supporting frequent moves and changes without compromising cable longevity.
• Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing you to power devices like access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones without additional power cables.
