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

The Black Box C6PC70S-BK-20 is a 20-foot CAT6 patch cable with shielding and an optional locking system that keeps gigabit traffic clean and secure. It is factory tested to 250 MHz, so you get full 1 Gbps throughput for data, voice, video, and Power over Ethernet without the drops or retries that slow a network.

Its foil shield wraps each pair to block electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, a detail that matters when you run cable alongside power lines, motors, or wireless equipment. Whether you are wiring a conference room, a production floor, or a classroom filled with electronics, the signal stays stable.

Both RJ-45 ends use LockPORT connectors. You can insert a red locking pin to prevent unauthorized removal or a green snagless pin to stop accidental pulls, all without replacing the cable. This feature is helpful in government offices, kiosks, ceiling-mounted access points, and any place where a loose connection creates downtime.

Every contact is plated with 50 microns of gold to resist corrosion and keep resistance low. The plug housing is rated for 750 mating cycles, so frequent moves between patch panels and switches will not wear it out. Stranded 24 AWG conductors add flexibility, making it easy to route in tight racks or behind desks.

The cable meets RoHS, CE, and UL/cUL requirements, which simplifies compliance for regulated industries. Installers, IT managers, and technically inclined home users can rely on it as a drop-in upgrade whenever reliable gigabit links and physical port security are priorities.
