Black Box 2ft GigaTrue 3 CAT6 Shielded Ethernet Patch Cable (Black)

Overview

The Black Box C6PC70S-BK-02 is a 2-foot Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver high-speed network connections with reliable performance. It supports CAT6 standards, operating at 250 MHz and enabling data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps. This cable is built to handle voice, data, audio, video, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) signals without interruption, making it a solid choice for both home and business networking setups.

Its compact length is ideal for connecting devices in tight spaces or patch panels where excess cable can cause clutter. The cable’s shielded S/FTP construction protects against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, ensuring stable connections even in environments crowded with electronic devices or industrial equipment.
