Black Box 15ft CAT6A 650MHz Locking Snagless Shielded Ethernet Cable (Red)

The Black Box C6APC80S-RD-15 is a patch cable built to the CAT6A Ethernet standard that includes shielding and a locking plug, giving network teams a straightforward way to keep 10 gigabit links both fast and secure across a fifteen foot span.

The cable is tested to 650 MHz, which exceeds the CAT6A requirement and provides extra headroom for bandwidth-heavy traffic such as large data backups, high-resolution media streams, or virtualized server workloads. Foil shielding surrounds the conductors, blocking electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference that can appear near power lines, fluorescent fixtures, or industrial equipment.

Installation is straightforward. A snagless boot protects the release tab as the cable is pulled through crowded raceways or patch panels, and the integrated lock snaps into any standard RJ-45 jack, preventing accidental disconnections in busy racks or public areas. When service is required, the lock releases with an easy-to-use key, so maintenance remains quick.

Long-term reliability is built in through 50-micron gold-plated contacts that resist corrosion and maintain a clean signal path, along with connectors rated for roughly 750 insertion and removal cycles. The bright red jacket makes cable identification simple during audits or troubleshooting.

Whether you are wiring a core switch, connecting a backup appliance, or adding an extra access point in a conference room, this cable provides the performance and peace of mind expected in professional networks.
