Black Box GigaTrue 3 Cat6 Shielded Patch Cable with Locking Options - 1 Gbps, 250 MHz

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 high-performance networking environments, supporting data transmission speeds up to 1 Gbps and bandwidths of 250 MHz. Constructed with shielded twisted pairs, this cable effectively minimizes EMI and RFI interference, ensuring reliable voice, data, audio/video, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) signals in demanding applications. The rugged design features 50-micron gold-plated contacts for superior conductivity and durability, making it an excellent choice for mission-critical network setups. The cable's snagless boots prevent connector damage during installation, and its connectors are rated for up to 750 insertion and extraction cycles, providing long-term reliability.

One of the standout features of this cable is its versatile locking options, designed to secure network ports and prevent unauthorized or accidental disconnections. The built-in locking tab accommodates two lock pins—red for security against unauthorized access, and green for securing ports against accidental disconnection. The red pin is ideal for government, retail, or publicly accessible environments, while the green pin suits industrial or office settings. Locking and unlocking are straightforward, using the included pins and removal tools, allowing flexible security configurations without the need for additional patch cords or equipment.

The GigaTrue 3 Cat6 Patch Cable is ETL verified to meet ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards, confirming its compliance with industry specifications for high-speed Ethernet applications such as 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T. Its shielded construction offers superior NEXT performance compared to standard CAT6 cables, making it suitable for environments with high electromagnetic interference. With environmentally friendly PVC jacket and RoHS compliance, this cable combines high performance with eco-conscious design. Whether installed in a data center, server room, or industrial facility, the Black Box GigaTrue 3 cable provides a reliable, secure, and high-quality network connection backed by a lifetime warranty.
