Black Box C6PC70-YL-06

Overview

The Black Box C6PC70-YL-06 is a six-foot CAT6 Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable gigabit network performance for a variety of devices including workstations, switches, and VoIP phones. Tested to 550 MHz, it exceeds standard CAT6 specifications to ensure smooth data, voice, and video transmission. Its bright yellow jacket makes it easy to identify and trace connections in complex setups.

This cable features a patented LockPORT boot that offers two levels of security: a simple locking pin to prevent accidental unplugging and a key-lock mechanism that requires a matching release tool for disconnection. This makes it particularly useful in environments like classrooms, hospitals, and public kiosks where network stability and security are critical.

Key features

• LockPORT boot with optional pin-lock or key-lock to secure connections and prevent accidental or unauthorized unplugging
• 24 AWG stranded conductors that provide flexibility for routing in tight spaces without compromising signal quality
• 50-micron gold-plated contacts that resist corrosion and maintain a low-resistance connection for long-term reliability
• Supports gigabit Ethernet speeds (1000BASE-T) as well as legacy 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T networks, including Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices
• Engineered to withstand up to 750 insertion and extraction cycles, ensuring durability in frequent-use scenarios
• Bright yellow jacket enhances cable management by making individual cables easy to identify and trace
• Fully compliant with RoHS, CE, and UL/cUL standards, suitable for use in regulated professional 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.
