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

Overview

The Black Box C6PC70S-RD-03 is a shielded CAT6 Ethernet patch cable designed to ensure stable and clean data transmission in environments with potential electromagnetic interference. With a length of three feet and support for frequencies up to 250 MHz, it is well suited for gigabit network connections in offices, schools, healthcare labs, and production floors. The cable’s red jacket makes it easy to identify among other cables, helping technicians quickly trace connections within racks or between wall plates and desktop devices.

Key features

• Shielding around each twisted pair reduces electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, maintaining reliable data flow even near power lines or motors
• Compact 3-foot length keeps short cable runs tidy and manageable in tight spaces
• Exceeds ANSI/TIA-568-C2 standards, supporting bandwidth up to 250 MHz for consistent gigabit Ethernet performance
• 50-micron gold-plated contacts provide excellent conductivity and durability, rated for approximately 750 insertions and removals
• Patented LockPORT snagless boot protects the latch from damage and prevents cable snags during installation or removal
• LockPORT boot accepts optional locking pins (sold separately) to secure connections in public or high-traffic areas without replacing the cable
