Black Box 5ft CAT6 Shielded Ethernet Patch Cable 250MHz Slim Boot (Black)

The Black Box EVNSL0272BK-0005 is a 5 foot CAT6 Ethernet patch cable in black, built for network links that call for consistent performance. It lets you move data at the full 250 MHz bandwidth defined by the CAT6 standard, so Gigabit Ethernet and other high speed applications run without bottlenecks.

To preserve signal integrity, Black Box surrounds each twisted pair with individual foil shielding and then wraps the entire bundle in a tinned copper braid. That double layer helps guard your traffic against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference that can stem from power lines, fluorescent lights, or nearby machinery.

Each RJ45 plug carries 50 micron gold plating on the contacts, which keeps resistance low and resists wear across as many as 750 insertions and extractions. If you regularly reconfigure racks or test hardware on a bench, you will welcome that extra durability.

The cable uses a snagless boot with a slim profile, so it slides through dense cable managers and patch panels without catching on neighboring cables. The five foot length is long enough to jump between equipment on the same rack or from a wall outlet to a desktop, yet short enough to keep your workspace tidy.

Whether you are building a small office network, wiring a classroom, or upgrading a home lab, this cable provides a connection that is fast and protected for data, voice, or streaming video.
