Black Box 5ft GigaTrue 3 CAT6 Shielded Locking Ethernet Cable (Gray)

Overview

The Black Box C6PC70S-GY-05 is a 5-foot CAT6 Ethernet cable designed to provide stable and high-speed network connections with data transfer rates up to 1 Gbps and support for frequencies up to 250 MHz. Its shielded S/FTP construction minimizes electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, making it ideal for environments with multiple electronic devices. The cable’s LockPORT technology adds security by locking the cable to network ports, preventing accidental disconnections in busy or shared spaces.

Key features

• Supports 1 Gbps data transfer speeds and 250 MHz frequency for reliable high-speed networking
• S/FTP shielding reduces interference from electromagnetic and radio frequency sources, ensuring signal integrity
• LockPORT technology offers two levels of locking to secure the cable in place and prevent accidental unplugging
• 50-micron gold-plated contacts provide consistent conductivity and reduce signal loss
• Snagless boots protect connectors from damage during installation and movement
• 24 AWG stranded conductors deliver a balance of flexibility and performance for easier cable management
• Complies with RoHS, CE, and UL/cUL standards for safety and environmental responsibility
