Black Box 3ft GigaBase 3 CAT5e 350MHz Locking Ethernet Cable (Black)

The Black Box C5EPC70-BK-03 is a 3-foot Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable, high-speed network connections. It operates at a frequency of 350MHz and supports data transfer speeds up to 1Gbps, which goes well beyond the typical 100MHz standard for CAT5e cables. This makes it a solid choice for environments where consistent performance and speed are essential, such as office networks, data centers, or home setups requiring stable internet connections.

This cable features a locking design that helps prevent accidental unplugging, making it especially useful in critical network installations where maintaining a secure connection is important. The 24-AWG stranded conductor combined with 50-micron gold-plated contacts ensures strong conductivity and durability, supporting up to 750 insertion cycles without degradation. The patented snagless LockPORT boot protects the connector during installation and everyday use, reducing the risk of damage and making cable management easier.

For added security, optional locking pins can be used to secure the cable to network ports, which helps prevent unauthorized access or accidental disconnections. This makes the cable well-suited for environments where network integrity and security are priorities, such as corporate offices, server rooms, or public access points.
