Black Box 5ft GigaTrue 3 CAT6 Lockable Patch Cable (Blue)

The Black Box C6PC70-BL-05 is a CAT6 patch cable that delivers enterprise-grade performance while giving you the option to lock the connection when security or uptime matters. Measuring five feet and finished in blue for quick identification, the cable joins switches, patch panels, and endpoint devices with the consistent throughput that modern networks demand.

Built on the GigaTrue 3 specification, the cable is tested to 550 MHz, well beyond the 250 MHz requirement for standard CAT6. That extra headroom keeps voice, data, Power over Ethernet, and high-resolution audio or video moving smoothly, even in bandwidth-intensive environments such as server rooms, surveillance installations, or multimedia classrooms. A 24-AWG stranded copper core and 50-micron gold-plated contacts maintain low resistance and minimize crosstalk, which translates directly into cleaner signals and fewer retransmissions.

What sets this model apart is the patented LockPORT boot. Slide in the red pin when you need to keep unauthorized hands out of critical ports, or choose the green pin to protect against accidental disconnects during routine moves and changes. Pins install or remove in seconds, so the same cable can serve either role as your network evolves.

The connector is rated for up to 750 insertion and extraction cycles, and the snagless boot shields the tab from catching on adjacent cables during pulls—handy when you are working in dense racks or overhead trays. Whether you manage a data center, a campus network, or simply want a dependable link for a conference room access point, this cable offers the blend of performance, security, and durability that keeps downtime off the agenda.
