Black Box 6ft GigaBase 3 CAT5e Locking Snagless Ethernet Cable (Blue)

The Black Box C5EPC70-BL-06 is a GigaBase 3 CAT5e Ethernet cable that measures six feet and ships in blue. It pairs a locking plug with a snagless boot, giving network installers a simple way to secure critical links while avoiding latch damage during pulls and reroutes.

Tested to 350 MHz, the cable goes well beyond the standard CAT5e specification. That extra headroom allows reliable 1 Gbps throughput for file transfers, VoIP, video streaming, and other bandwidth-hungry tasks. Inside the jacket, 24 AWG stranded conductors maintain flexibility for tight bends in racks or under desks.

Each RJ-45 contact carries a fifty-micron layer of gold that resists corrosion and keeps the signal path efficient. The plug has been verified for seven hundred fifty insertion and removal cycles, so it stands up to frequent moves and changes in patch panels or classroom setups.

The LockPORT feature helps prevent accidental disconnects or unauthorized removal in public areas, retail kiosks, control rooms, and shared office spaces. When service is required, the cable can be unlocked quickly with the appropriate tool, allowing IT staff to balance security and convenience.
