Black Box 20ft GigaTrue 3 CAT6 Locking Snagless Shielded Ethernet Cable (Black)

Overview

The Black Box C6PC70S-BK-20 is a 20-foot CAT6 Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable gigabit network performance with shielding and locking features. Tested to 250 MHz, it supports full 1 Gbps throughput for data, voice, video, and Power over Ethernet applications, ensuring stable connections even in environments with electromagnetic interference.

This cable is ideal for installations in conference rooms, classrooms, production floors, or any setting where network stability and physical security of connections are critical. Its shielding protects against interference from nearby power lines and wireless devices, while the LockPORT connectors provide options to prevent accidental or unauthorized disconnections.

Key features

• Shielded design with foil wrapping around each twisted pair to block electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, maintaining signal integrity in noisy environments
• LockPORT connectors that accept optional locking pins to secure connections or snagless pins to prevent accidental unplugging without needing cable replacement
• 50 micron gold-plated contacts that resist corrosion and ensure low resistance for consistent data transmission
• Rated for 750 insertion cycles, supporting frequent reconnections without degradation in performance
• Flexible stranded 24 AWG conductors that make routing through tight spaces and behind equipment easier
• Compliance with RoHS, CE, and UL/cUL standards, making it suitable for use in regulated industries and environments
