Black Box 7ft CAT6A 650-MHz Locking Shielded Patch Cable (Black)

Overview

The Black Box C6APC80S-BK-07 is a seven foot Category 6A shielded patch cable designed to deliver high-speed network connections with up to 10 Gbps throughput and 650 MHz bandwidth. It is ideal for transmitting voice, data, audio, video, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) signals in environments where signal integrity and connection security are critical. This cable is well suited for use in office switch panels, industrial control cabinets, data centers, and other demanding network setups.

Key features

• Full shielding effectively blocks electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, ensuring clear and stable signal transmission even near power lines or noisy equipment.
• 50 micron gold plated contacts inside each connector provide a low resistance path that maintains consistent performance over time.
• Durability tested for 750 insertion and extraction cycles, allowing frequent reconfiguration without compromising cable integrity.
• Snagless jacket design helps the cable slide smoothly through tight conduits and crowded patch panels, reducing the risk of damage to adjacent cables during installation.
• Patented LockPORT boot supports optional locking pins or blocks to prevent accidental unplugging and deter tampering in public or shared spaces such as classrooms, kiosks, and conference rooms.
