Black Box GigaTrue 3 Cat6 UTP Patch Network Cable - 3 Feet, Snagless Boot, 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 bandwidths up to 550 MHz and data transfer rates of 1 Gbps. Designed to exceed industry standards set by ANSI/TIA, this cable ensures reliable voice, data, audio/video, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) transmissions. Its robust four-pair 24-AWG construction with 50-micron gold-plated contacts provides superior conductivity and minimal signal loss, making it ideal for demanding Gigabit Ethernet applications. The cable's ETL verification to ANSI/TIA-568-C2 guarantees compliance with rigorous quality standards, ensuring dependable network connections. The snagless boots protect connectors during installation, preventing damage caused by snags or pulling, which extends the lifespan of the cable and maintains optimal performance. These connectors are rated for an impressive 750 insertion and removal cycles, offering durability for frequent use in dynamic environments.

One of the standout features of the Black Box GigaTrue 3 cable is its locking capability, which enhances security and stability of network ports. The built-in LockPORT boot allows you to insert a locking pin (sold separately) to prevent unauthorized access or accidental disconnections. The red locking pin option secures mission-critical ports, ideal for government, retail, or public spaces, while the green pin secures ports in industrial or office settings to prevent accidental disconnects. The locking system is simple to operate, with no tools required for unlocking when using the green pin, and a removal key (sold separately) for the red pin. This dual locking feature provides flexible security options tailored to specific network needs.

Constructed with environmentally friendly PVC jacket material, this black-colored cable is RoHS compliant, making it a responsible choice for eco-conscious deployments. Its compact design and durable construction make it suitable for a variety of high-speed networking environments, including 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T. Whether used in data centers, office networks, or industrial settings, the Black Box GigaTrue 3 Cat6 patch cable delivers consistent, high-quality performance with a lifetime warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and peace of mind.
