The Black Box CAT6A 650-MHz Locking Snagless Patch Cable is a 3-foot shielded network cable designed for high-bandwidth 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. It connects network devices and patch panels via male RJ-45 connectors on both ends. This cable is suitable for IT environments requiring reliable data transmission and protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI), which can degrade signal quality. Its shielded construction and 26 AWG copper conductors support data rates up to 10 Gbit/s and are tested to 650-MHz performance. The cable features 50-micron gold-plated contacts for superior conductivity and a snagless boot design. A key feature is its integrated LockPORT boot, which allows for optional locking pins (sold separately) to secure network ports, preventing unauthorized access or accidental disconnections. This makes the BBN C6APC80SB03 cable a practical choice for securing critical network connections in various business settings.

To unplug the cable, release it with the removal key (sold separately).
Locked: Red Pin Prevent unauthorized access to mission-critical and publicly accessible ports in government offices, lobbies, retail establishments, and more. To lock a port, insert the red locking pin into the patented LockPORT boot on the cable. Unlock the port with the LockPORT Locking Pin Removal Tool. Secured: Green Pin Prevent accidental disconnects in the office, manufacturing and industrial applications, and more. To secure a port, insert the green locking pin into the cable's LockPORT boot. To release the pin, squeeze its butterfly tabs and pull - no removal tool required.
