Black Box 7ft GigaTrue 3 CAT6 Lockable Ethernet Patch Cable (Black)

The Black Box C6PC80-BK-07 is a seven foot CAT6 patch cable that delivers dependable gigabit performance while adding a layer of physical security to any copper network run. It follows the GigaTrue 3 specification and is tested to 550 MHz, so file transfers, VoIP calls, and video streams move across the link without slowdowns or dropped packets.

At the heart of the design is an RJ-45 plug with a patented boot that accepts an optional locking pin. When the pin is in place, users cannot remove the cable without the matching release key. This small detail protects ports in shared offices, school labs, retail kiosks, or any area where you want to stop casual disconnects and cable swaps.

The plug housing keeps the latch shielded, which prevents snagging when you pull the cable through raceways or dense switch panels. Because the outer jacket is slim, you can route multiple cables side by side in crowded racks and wall plates without struggling for space.

Set up is straightforward: snap one end into a switch, patch panel, or router, and the other into a workstation, access point, or IP phone. The cable is unshielded, making it flexible enough for tight bends behind desks yet sturdy enough for everyday moves, adds, and changes.

If you manage an enterprise wiring closet, build a lab at home, or deploy temporary connections at events, this Black Box cable offers the consistent throughput you expect from CAT6 along with the option to keep critical links locked in place.
