Black Box C6APC80S-BL-15

Overview

The Black Box C6APC80S-BL-15 is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver reliable 10 gigabit connectivity over a 15-foot length. Rated for 650 MHz bandwidth, it supports high-speed transmission of voice, data, audio, video, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) traffic, making it suitable for demanding network environments that require stable and interference-free connections.

Its full shielding and gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure signal integrity and durability, while the blue jacket aids in easy identification among multiple cables in crowded setups.

Key features

• CAT6A rating with 650 MHz bandwidth supports 10 gigabit Ethernet speeds for fast and efficient data transfer.
• Full shielding around each twisted pair reduces electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, maintaining clear signal quality even near power lines or industrial equipment.
• Gold-plated contacts with 50 micron thickness enhance conductivity and resist corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance.
• LockPORT boot design allows for an optional clip to secure the connection physically, preventing accidental disconnections and protecting the latch from snags.
• Durability tested for up to 750 insertion and extraction cycles, providing reliable use in frequent patching scenarios.

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.
