Black Box GigaTrue 3 Cat6 (S/FTP) Shielded Patch Cable - 1 Gbps, 250 MHz Performance with Locking Options

Black Box GigaTrue 3 Cat.6 (S/FTP) Patch Network Cable

The Black Box GigaTrue 3 Cat6 (S/FTP) Patch Network Cable is engineered for demanding high-speed networking environments. Tested to 250 MHz and supporting 1 Gbps data transmission, this shielded cable offers exceptional protection against EMI and RFI interference, ensuring reliable and clear signal transfer for voice, data, audio/video, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. Its construction includes premium 50-micron gold-plated contacts that provide superior conductivity, minimizing signal loss and maintaining optimal performance over time. The rugged design incorporates a durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket and integrated lockable snagless boots, which safeguard connectors during installation and prevent damage from accidental snags. The connectors are rated for an impressive 750 insertion and extraction cycles, delivering long-term durability for mission-critical operations. These cables also feature built-in locking options, allowing users to secure network ports with optional locking pins (sold separately), providing additional security and preventing unauthorized or accidental disconnections. The red locking pin is used to secure critical ports against unauthorized access, ideal for government or retail environments, while the green pin is designed to prevent accidental disconnections in industrial or office settings. In addition to their lockability, these cables meet or exceed industry standards, verified by ETL to ANSI/TIA-568-C2, and are tested to ensure compliance with the CAT6 industry standard of 250 MHz. The shielded design enhances signal integrity in electrically noisy environments, making these cables suitable for high-speed 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T networks. The versatile design allows for use as standard snagless connectors or with lockable features, offering adaptability to various security and performance needs. With a professional appearance in gray and environmentally conscious materials, these cables are an excellent choice for enterprise, industrial, or government networks seeking reliable, high-performance cabling solutions with added security features.
