Black Box 2ft GigaBase CAT5e Ethernet Patch Cable (Gray)

The Black Box EVNSL80-0002 is a patch cable that is two feet long and built to the CAT5e Ethernet standard. It connects switches, patch panels, and network ready devices while maintaining reliable Gigabit speed.

Engineered to outperform basic CAT5e wiring, the cable supports frequencies up to 350 MHz, which is more than triple the 100 MHz specification. That extra headroom keeps 1000BASE-T links, large file transfers, VoIP, and streaming media stable and responsive.

The design relies on 24 AWG stranded copper conductors that combine flexibility with strong signal integrity. Each RJ45 plug uses 50 micron gold plated contacts, creating a low resistance path that stays consistent even after heavy use. In fact, the connectors are tested for up to 750 insertion or removal cycles, so you can reconfigure equipment with confidence.

A snagless boot shields the latch on each plug and adds strain relief when the cable is pulled through tight pathways. The gray jacket blends easily with common rack layouts, which simplifies identification and cable management.

Whether you are an IT manager installing a new switch, a homeowner wiring a streaming device, or a lab engineer who swaps gear daily, you will appreciate a link that is short and flexible without excess slack to tame.

• Supports 350 MHz bandwidth and 1 Gbps data rates
• Exceeds the 100 MHz requirement for CAT5e cable
• 24 AWG stranded copper conductors improve flexibility and signal integrity
• 50 micron gold plated contacts resist corrosion and promote conductivity
• Connectors endure up to 750 insertion or removal cycles
• Snagless boots prevent latch damage and add strain relief
• Ideal for 1000BASE-T networks and other high speed applications
