Black Box GigaTrue 3 Cat6 UTP Patch Network Cable – 1 Foot Green with Locking Options

Black Box GigaTrue 3 Cat.6 UTP Patch Network Cable

The Black Box GigaTrue 3 Cat6 UTP Patch Network Cable is engineered for high-performance Ethernet networks, supporting bandwidth-intensive applications such as Gigabit Ethernet, voice, data, audio/video, and Power over Ethernet (PoE). Tested to 550 MHz and capable of 1 Gbps data transfer rates, this cable exceeds the standard CAT6 specifications, providing reduced impedance, lower near-end crosstalk (NEXT), and minimal structural return loss for reliable, high-speed data transmission. Its robust construction features four twisted pairs of 24-AWG copper conductors with 50-micron gold-plated contacts, ensuring superior conductivity and signal integrity throughout prolonged use. The snagless design of the boots protects connectors during installation, reducing damage and maintaining performance over time.
The GigaTrue 3 cable includes innovative locking options to secure your network connections against unauthorized access or accidental disconnections. The built-in LockPORT boot allows insertion of locking pins (sold separately) for two security levels: the red locking pin prevents unauthorized port access, ideal for sensitive environments like government offices and retail spaces; the green locking pin secures connections in industrial or high-traffic areas, with easy removal by squeezing butterfly tabs without additional tools. Its durable, hard-polymer design enhances connector strength, supporting up to 750 insertion/extraction cycles for long-term reliability.
Suitable for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-T, and other high-speed Ethernet applications, this cable offers ETL verification to ANSI/TIA-568-C2 standards, ensuring compliance and performance consistency. The green jacket material, made from environmentally friendly PVC, aligns with RoHS regulations, making it a responsible choice for modern networks. Backed by a lifetime warranty, the Black Box GigaTrue 3 Cat6 Patch Cable offers a dependable, versatile, and secure solution for any high-performance network setup, combining superior electrical characteristics with practical locking features for enhanced security and stability.
