Black Box 20ft CAT6A 650MHz Shielded Ethernet Patch Cable (Blue)

The Black Box C6APC80S-BL-20 is a 20-foot shielded Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver reliable, high-speed network connections. It supports data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps and operates at frequencies up to 650 MHz, making it well-suited for demanding applications such as data centers, office networks, and environments where audio, video, or Power over Ethernet (PoE) are in use.

This cable’s shielded construction helps protect your network signals from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, which is especially important in settings with lots of electronic equipment or potential sources of signal disruption. The connectors feature 50-micron gold-plated contacts that ensure consistent conductivity and reduce the risk of connection issues over time.

Durability is built into this cable with a plug lifespan rated for 750 insertion and extraction cycles, so it can handle frequent use without degrading performance. The patented snagless boot design prevents damage to the connector during installation, making it easier to plug and unplug in tight spaces. For added security, the cable supports the LockPORT system, which allows you to lock the connection and prevent accidental or unauthorized disconnections—ideal for critical network setups.

Its blue jacket makes it easy to identify among other cables, helping with organization and troubleshooting. Whether you’re upgrading your network infrastructure or setting up a new system, this cable offers a dependable and flexible solution for maintaining fast, stable connections.
