Shielded Cat.6a Cable for 10 Gbps Networks

This Black Box GigaTrue 3 patch cable uses U/FTP shielding to protect voice, data, audio, video and PoE signals from EMI and RFI interference. It is tested to 650 MHz and supports 10 Gbps transmission for bandwidth-intensive applications. The 50-micron gold-plated contacts on both RJ45 plugs ensure superior conductivity across the link.

LockPORT Boot with Optional Port Locking

The integrated hard-polymer LockPORT boot and plug are built for increased strength compared to standard connectors and rated for 750 insertion cycles. A built-in locking tab accepts a separate locking pin to secure critical network ports against unauthorised removal. The patented snagless design prevents latch damage during routine moves and maintenance.

Upgrade Path for Shielded 10G Infrastructure

This cable replaces unshielded or lower-category patch cords when a shielded 10 Gbps link is required and physical port security is a priority. The jump is worth it when EMI resilience and lockable connectors are specified for the installation. Buyers who need non-locking cables or a different category rating should select an alternative product.
