Black Box 3ft GigaTrue 3 CAT6 550MHz Locking UTP Patch Cable (Black)

The Black Box C6PC70-BK-03 is a three-foot GigaTrue 3 Category 6 patch cable that helps your network move data, voice, and video without hesitation. It is built for installations where Gigabit Ethernet speed matters and where every connection must stay secure once it is in place.

Engineered and tested to 550 MHz, this cable comfortably exceeds the 250 MHz requirement of standard CAT6. The extra headroom reduces impedance, return loss, and near-end crosstalk, so packets travel with fewer errors and less need for retransmission. That translates to smoother file transfers, clearer VoIP calls, and more reliable high-definition streaming on 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or 10BASE-T networks.

Inside the molded boot you will find 24-AWG stranded conductors and 50-micron gold-plated contacts that resist corrosion and maintain strong signal integrity through up to 750 insertion and extraction cycles. The snagless boot design glides through crowded cable trays and tight patch panels, saving time during upgrades or reconfigurations.

For environments that demand an extra layer of physical security—such as classrooms, public kiosks, manufacturing floors, or visitor areas—the integrated LockPORT boot accepts optional color-coded locking pins. These pins can either prevent accidental disconnects or block unauthorized devices from being plugged in, giving network administrators more control without adding separate locking hardware.

Whether you are wiring a small office rack, adding drops to a conference room, or keeping mission-critical equipment online in an industrial cabinet, this compact cable delivers dependable CAT6 performance in a manageable three-foot length.
