Black Box GigaTrue 3 Cat6 (S/FTP) Shielded Patch Cable - 20 ft, Gray

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

The Black Box GigaTrue 3 Cat6 (S/FTP) Patch Network Cable offers high-performance connectivity designed to meet the demands of modern high-speed networks. Tested to 250 MHz and supporting 1-Gbps data transmission, this cable ensures reliable voice, data, audio/video, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) signals for enterprise, industrial, and critical infrastructure applications.

Constructed with shielded twisted pair (S/FTP) design, the GigaTrue 3 cable provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), preserving signal integrity in noisy environments. The rugged, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket, combined with snagless boots, enhances durability during installation by preventing connector damage and snagging. The connectors feature 50-micron gold-plated contacts, offering excellent conductivity and low signal loss for optimal network performance.

Designed for longevity, the connectors support an insertion and extraction cycle of 750 times, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding setups. The cable supports high-speed applications such as 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T, making it suitable for a variety of networking environments. Additionally, the built-in locking options allow secure port access—preventing unauthorized or accidental disconnections—by inserting locking pins (sold separately) into the patented LockPORT boot. These locking features include a red pin for security and a green pin for securing connections against accidental unplugging.

Certified to meet ANSI/TIA-568-C2 standards and verified by ETL, the Black Box GigaTrue 3 cable combines high performance with durability and security. Its environmentally friendly PVC jacket complies with RoHS regulations, ensuring safe and sustainable operation. Whether for enterprise data centers, industrial environments, or government facilities, this cable provides a dependable, high-quality solution for your network infrastructure needs.
