Black Box 3ft CAT6A Locking Shielded Ethernet Patch Cable (Blue)

The Black Box C6APC80S-BL-03 is a CAT6A Ethernet patch cable in a three foot length that delivers dependable 10 Gigabit performance for voice, data, and audio or video traffic. Its shielded design blocks electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, and each pair is tested to 650 MHz, giving you generous headroom beyond the CAT6A specification. That extra margin helps maintain low latency links in busy wiring closets, server racks, or office floors where power lines and other cables crowd the space.

Both ends feature 50 micron gold plated contacts that seat cleanly and resist corrosion, so your connection stays solid even after years of service. A snagless boot protects the latch while you pull the cable through tight raceways, and the assembly is rated for 750 insertion and extraction cycles, making it a reliable choice for patch panels that are reconfigured often.

When you need to keep a port active and tamper free, the integrated LockPORT boot accepts an optional locking pin. Snap the pin in place and the plug cannot be removed without a tool, a simple way to secure ports in classrooms, retail kiosks, shared workstations, or any location where accidental or unauthorized disconnects are a concern.

Use this cable in data centers that push 10 G links between switches, in broadcast suites that move uncompressed video, or in a home office that powers access points and IP phones through PoE. Wherever stable throughput and physical durability matter, it offers a straightforward upgrade without unnecessary complexity.
