Black Box CAT6A 650-MHz Locking Snagless Patch Cable - Shielded Ethernet Cable with Locking Options

Black Box CAT6A 650-MHz Locking Snagless Patch Cable

The Black Box GigaTrue 3 CAT6A 650-MHz Locking Snagless Patch Cable offers high-performance networking with reliable shielding and locking features to secure mission-critical connections. Designed for bandwidth-intensive applications, this shielded cable ensures data integrity by preventing EMI and RFI interference, making it suitable for 10G Ethernet, voice, audio/video, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) signals. Its construction includes 50-micron gold-plated contacts that guarantee superior conductivity and low signal loss, supporting high-speed data transmission. The rugged, hard-polymer LockPORT boot and connector are engineered for durability, capable of withstanding up to 750 insertion and extraction cycles, providing long-term reliability in demanding environments. The snagless design protects the connector during installation and removal, reducing damage and maintaining optimal performance.

These cables feature built-in locking options that enhance network security and prevent accidental disconnections. The red locking pin allows you to secure ports against unauthorized access, ideal for government, retail, and public spaces, while the green pin prevents accidental disconnections in industrial and office settings. Locking is straightforward: insert the respective pin into the built-in locking tab on the snagless boot and release it with a removal tool or squeeze the butterfly tabs. This versatile locking mechanism offers flexibility for different security needs without the need for additional patch cords. ETL verified to meet ANSI/TIA-568-C2 standards, the cable's shielded design and high-frequency testing to 650 MHz ensure robust performance across a range of high-bandwidth applications.

Constructed with environmentally friendly PVC jacket material, this blue-colored cable aligns with RoHS compliance standards, reflecting its eco-conscious manufacturing. The cable's design emphasizes ease of installation, durability, and security, making it a dependable choice for networking professionals. Whether deploying in data centers, industrial environments, or office networks, this patch cable provides a resilient, high-performance solution. With a lifetime warranty, Black Box’s CAT6A 650-MHz Locking Snagless Patch Cable guarantees sustained performance and peace of mind, backed by a trusted brand in connectivity solutions.
