Black Box C6PC70-BL-05

Overview

The Black Box C6PC70-BL-05 is a CAT6 patch cable designed to provide reliable, high-performance network connections with added security features. Measuring five feet and finished in blue for easy identification, it supports bandwidths up to 550 MHz, which is more than double the standard CAT6 requirement. This cable is ideal for connecting switches, patch panels, and endpoint devices in environments where consistent throughput and uptime are critical.

Key features

• Tested to 550 MHz to support bandwidth-intensive applications such as voice, data, Power over Ethernet, and high-resolution audio or video
• LockPORT system with red pins to secure ports against unauthorized access and green pins to prevent accidental disconnections during maintenance
• 24-AWG stranded copper conductors combined with 50-micron gold-plated contacts for low resistance and minimal crosstalk, ensuring cleaner signals
• Connector rated for up to 750 insertion and extraction cycles, providing long-lasting durability
• Snagless boot design protects the latch from catching on adjacent cables, simplifying installation in dense racks or overhead trays
• Blue cable jacket allows quick and easy port tracing in complex network setups

Connectivity and compatibility

This patch cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it suitable for a wide range of network devices including switches, routers, patch panels, IP phones, and access points. Its enhanced bandwidth capacity ensures smooth transmission of high-definition audiovisual content and voice data, fitting well in server rooms, multimedia classrooms, and surveillance systems.

Performance and reliability

The cable’s construction with stranded copper and gold-plated contacts reduces signal loss and interference, which helps maintain stable connections and reduces retransmissions. The LockPORT system adds a layer of physical security and operational reliability by preventing unauthorized or accidental disconnections, which is especially valuable in mission-critical network environments.

Ideal uses and environments

This cable is a strong choice for IT professionals managing data centers, campus networks, or conference room setups where both performance and security are priorities. Its five-foot length and color coding make it practical for patch panels and rack-mounted equipment, while the robust design supports frequent moves and changes without compromising connection integrity.

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.
