Black Box 1ft GigaTrue 3 CAT6 Locking Shielded Ethernet Cable (Gray)

Overview

The Black Box C6PC70S-GY-01 is a one foot GigaTrue 3 Category 6 Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver reliable network connections with added security. It supports data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps and operates at frequencies up to 250 MHz, making it suitable for voice, data, video, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. Its shielded design reduces electromagnetic interference, ensuring clean signal transmission in environments with dense cabling or electronic noise.

Key features

• Shielded construction minimizes electromagnetic interference for stable network performance
• Lockable RJ45 connectors prevent accidental disconnections and unauthorized tampering without extra hardware
• Short one foot length helps maintain neat cable management in racks, patch panels, and desktop setups
• 50-micron gold plated contacts provide consistent conductivity and resist corrosion over thousands of insertions
• Snagless boot protects the latch during installation and cable pulls through tight spaces
• 24 AWG stranded conductors offer flexibility for routing cables in confined or complex environments
• Complies with RoHS, CE, and UL/cUL standards, making it suitable for commercial, educational, and government installations
