Black Box GigaTrue 3 Cat.6 UTP Patch Network Cable - 20 ft, Gray, High-Speed Ethernet with Locking Options

The Black Box GigaTrue 3 Cat.6 UTP Patch Network Cable is engineered for demanding high-speed Ethernet applications, including 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T networks. Crafted with a durable four-pair 24-AWG construction and 50-micron gold-plated contacts, this cable ensures reliable, high-quality transmission of voice, data, audio/video, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) signals. Its tested performance of 550 MHz and 1 Gbps significantly exceeds the standard 250 MHz CAT6 requirements, reducing impedance and near-end crosstalk (NEXT) for enhanced signal integrity and reduced interference. This makes it ideal for bandwidth-intensive environments requiring fast, stable connections. The snagless boots protect the connectors from damage during installation, extending the cable's lifespan and maintaining optimal performance over time.
Black Box’s innovative LockPORT locking options provide added security and stability for your network. The red locking pin prevents unauthorized access by securing critical ports, perfect for government, retail, or public spaces. The green locking pin secures connections against accidental disconnection in industrial or office environments, with easy release without tools. These locking features help safeguard your network infrastructure without the need for additional cables or adapters, offering flexible security options tailored to your needs. The cables are ETL verified to ANSI/TIA-568-C2 standards, ensuring compliance and quality assurance. Designed for long-term reliability, each connector supports up to 750 insertion and removal cycles, making maintenance and reconfiguration straightforward and dependable.
With environmentally friendly PVC jackets and RoHS compliance, these cables are suitable for eco-conscious installations. The gray color blends seamlessly into most setups, and the 20-foot length offers versatility across various network configurations. Whether for new installations or upgrades, Black Box’s GigaTrue 3 Cat.6 cables deliver superior performance, durability, and security, making them an excellent choice for high-speed, reliable network connectivity in diverse environments.
