Black Box C5EPC70-BL-06

Overview

The Black Box C5EPC70-BL-06 is a 6-foot GigaBase 3 CAT5e Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable 1 Gbps network performance with a tested frequency of 350 MHz. It combines a locking plug with a snagless boot to secure connections while protecting the latch from damage during installation or rerouting. This cable is ideal for environments where network stability and security are critical, such as shared offices, retail kiosks, and control rooms.

Key features

• LockPORT locking connector prevents accidental disconnections and unauthorized removal, enhancing network security in public or shared spaces.
• Snagless boot design protects the latch from damage, making cable management easier and reducing downtime during moves or changes.
• 24 AWG stranded conductors provide flexibility for routing in tight spaces like racks or under desks without compromising signal integrity.
• Gold-plated contacts with a 50-micron layer resist corrosion and maintain efficient signal transmission over time.
• Durable plug rated for 750 insertion and removal cycles ensures long-lasting performance even with frequent reconfigurations.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is compatible with any device or network equipment that supports CAT5e Ethernet connections, including switches, routers, patch panels, and computers. Its locking feature makes it especially suitable for installations where cable security is a priority, such as classrooms, offices, and retail environments.

Installation and setup

The snagless boot design simplifies installation by preventing the latch from catching on other cables or hardware during routing. The LockPORT locking mechanism secures the connection firmly but can be quickly released with the appropriate tool, allowing IT staff to maintain and reconfigure networks efficiently without risking accidental unplugging.

Ideal uses and environments

This Ethernet cable fits well in professional settings that require both high-speed data transfer and secure connections. It works well in network closets, shared office spaces, retail kiosks, and control rooms where accidental disconnections could disrupt operations. Its flexibility and durability also make it a strong choice for frequent moves or reconfigurations in dynamic IT environments.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
