Black Box 5ft CAT6 Shielded Ethernet Patch Cable (White)

Overview

The Black Box EVNSL0272WH-0005 is a five foot Category 6 shielded Ethernet patch cable designed to maintain stable Gigabit Ethernet connections in environments prone to electrical interference. It supports frequencies up to 250 MHz, ensuring fast and reliable data transfer for office workstations, home networks, server racks, and other setups where electromagnetic noise could disrupt performance.

Its double shielding and stranded 26 AWG copper conductors provide both protection against interference and the flexibility needed for routing in tight spaces. The white jacket offers a clean appearance and helps with color coding in complex cabling systems.

Key features

• Double shielding around the cable and pairs blocks EMI and RFI, keeping signals clean in electrically noisy environments
• Stranded 26 AWG copper conductors combine flexibility with consistent 1000BASE-T Gigabit speed
• RJ-45 connectors feature 50-micron gold-plated contacts that resist corrosion and support up to 750 insertion cycles for long-term reliability
• Slim molded boot protects the latch without adding bulk, allowing easy connection in dense patch panels or wall plates
• White jacket simplifies cable identification and blends discreetly along baseboards or office furniture
• Five foot length offers manageable cable runs ideal for racks, desks, or audiovisual setups
