Black Box 3ft GigaTrue 3 CAT6 Shielded Ethernet Patch Cable (Red)

The Black Box C6PC70S-RD-03 is a CAT6 Ethernet patch cable that includes shielding to maintain clean, reliable data flow even when power lines, motors, or other electronic gear sit close to your network hardware. Its three-foot length keeps connections inside a rack or between a wall plate and a desktop device neat and easy to trace, and its red jacket lets technicians spot the link at a glance.

Built to exceed ANSI/TIA-568-C2 requirements, the cable handles frequencies up to 250 MHz, so it is ready for gigabit traffic and everyday file transfers in offices, schools, healthcare labs, or production floors. The shield around each pair helps block electromagnetic and radio-frequency noise that can otherwise cause dropped packets or slowdowns.

Each plug features 50-micron gold-plated contacts that deliver solid conductivity and are rated for roughly 750 insertions and removals. This durability is a practical advantage in wiring closets where ports are repatched often or in training environments where students frequently swap equipment.

The patented LockPORT boot protects the latch, prevents snags during pulls, and accepts optional locking pins. By adding a pin (sold separately), administrators can secure critical uplinks in public areas, conference rooms, or kiosks without replacing the entire cable.
