Black Box C6PC70-BL-10

Overview

The Black Box C6PC70-BL-10 is a 10 foot CAT6 patch cable designed to deliver reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in environments such as data centers, offices, and classrooms. Rated to 550 MHz, it provides more than twice the bandwidth required by the CAT6 standard, ensuring smooth handling of high-throughput activities like large file transfers, voice communications, streaming video, and power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. Its robust construction and security features make it a dependable choice for networks that demand stability and protection.

Key features

• Rated to 550 MHz, offering bandwidth headroom beyond standard CAT6 requirements for enhanced network performance
• LockPORT design supports optional locking and blocking pins to secure connections and prevent unauthorized cable removal
• 50 micron gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain low contact resistance for consistent signal quality over time
• Stranded 24 AWG conductors arranged in four tightly twisted pairs reduce impedance and near-end crosstalk, minimizing data errors
• Snagless boot protects the latch during installation and cable pulls, reducing the risk of damage in tight spaces
• Engineered to withstand up to 750 insertion and removal cycles, ensuring long service life in dynamic network setups
• Blue jacket color simplifies cable identification in crowded racks and cable trays

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards, making it suitable for connecting switches, routers, servers, and other network devices that require stable and secure data transmission. Its CAT6 rating ensures backward compatibility with CAT5e infrastructure while providing improved performance for modern network demands.

Installation and setup

The snagless boot design protects the cable latch during installation, especially when routing through tight spaces or dense patch panels. The LockPORT feature allows network administrators to secure connections with locking pins, reducing accidental disconnections and enhancing network uptime. The 10-foot length offers flexibility for typical rack and workstation setups without excess cable clutter.

Ideal uses and environments

This patch cable is well suited for professional environments where network reliability and security are critical, such as government offices, healthcare facilities, production floors, and educational institutions. It fits well in setups that experience frequent moves, adds, and changes, providing both performance and peace of mind through its durable construction and locking capabilities.

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.
