Shielded CAT6 250-MHz cable for interference-prone

This Black Box GigaTrue 3 patch cable uses S/FTP shielding to protect voice, data, audio/video and PoE signals from EMI and RFI distortion. It is tested to 250-MHz bandwidth and 1-Gbps throughput. The 50-micron gold-plated contacts maintain conductivity across repeated connections.

Upgrade from unshielded

The shielded construction replaces standard UTP cables in environments where electromagnetic noise corrupts packets. The jump is worth it when cable runs pass near power equipment, fluorescent lighting or dense cable bundles that induce crosstalk. The 750-cycle connector rating also exceeds typical plastic-latch cords that fail after fewer insertions.

Sustained signal integrity under continuous PoE

The integrated LockPORT boot and hard-polymer plug resist mechanical stress that loosens ordinary connectors over time. Shielding maintains consistent attenuation and alien-crosstalk margins during long-duration 1-Gbps streams and PoE delivery. Locking pins and removal keys are sold separately for physical port security.

Questions about this item

What physical clearance does the LockPORT boot need to fit into a standard keystone jack?

The integrated hard-polymer LockPORT boot and plug are built as one rugged unit that meets ANSI/TIA dimensions for CAT6 shielded patch cords, so it seats in any standard keystone or wall-plate port without extra clearance.

How do I engage the locking pin, and what step do installers often miss?

Insert the optional red locking pin into the built-in tab on the snagless boot until it clicks; the step many miss is using the matching removal key to disengage the pin before pulling the cable, otherwise the latch stays locked.

When should I plan to replace the cable based on its rated connector life?

The plugs are rated for 750 insertion and extraction cycles, so schedule replacement once the total number of plug-ins and removals approaches that figure to maintain reliable 250-MHz performance.
