Black Box 4ft GigaTrue 3 CAT6 550MHz Locking Ethernet Cable (Red)

Overview

The Black Box C6PC70-RD-04 is a 4-foot Ethernet cable designed to provide reliable and high-speed network connections. Tested up to 550 MHz, it surpasses standard CAT6 requirements, making it well suited for demanding applications like Gigabit Ethernet. This cable fits well in office environments, data centers, and home networks where stable streaming, gaming, and large file transfers are essential.

Built for durability, it features 50-micron gold-plated contacts that enhance conductivity and minimize signal loss. The 24-AWG stranded construction offers flexibility and strength, supporting up to 750 insertion and extraction cycles. Its snagless design protects connectors during installation, reducing the risk of damage and simplifying plug and unplug actions.

One of its key advantages is the patented LockPORT technology, which allows the cable to be securely locked to network ports using optional locking pins. This feature is particularly useful in shared or public spaces to prevent accidental disconnections or unauthorized unplugging. The cable also complies with RoHS, CE, and UL/cUL safety and environmental standards.
