Premium Performance for Your Network
We understand how important it is to have a reliable and high-performing network cable. That’s why we designed the Black Box GigaTrue 3 CAT6 Shielded Patch Cable to exceed industry standards. Whether you’re transmitting voice, data, audio/video, or PoE signals, this cable ensures your information stays clear and secure. With a tested performance of 250 MHz and 1 Gbps, you can trust it to handle even the most demanding applications.
The cable is shielded to protect against EMI/RFI interference, which can distort or destroy your data. Plus, the 50-micron gold-plated contacts provide superior conductivity, ensuring a stable connection every time. The connectors are built to last, with a design that supports up to 750 insertion and extraction cycles, making it a durable choice for your network setup.
Built to Last with Locking Options
We know that security and reliability are key in any network environment. That’s why our GigaTrue 3 cables come with patented LockPORT technology. You can choose between two locking options to suit your needs:
Red Pin: Perfect for preventing unauthorized access in mission-critical or public areas like government offices, lobbies, or retail spaces. Simply insert the red locking pin into the LockPORT boot to secure the cable. To unlock, use the LockPORT Locking Pin Removal Tool (sold separately).
Green Pin: Ideal for preventing accidental disconnects in offices, manufacturing, or industrial settings. Insert the green locking pin into the boot, and release it by squeezing the butterfly tabs—no removal tool needed.
If you don’t need locking, the cable also works as a standard snagless connector, with boots that prevent damage during installation.
