Black Box 5ft GigaBase CAT5e Snagless Patch Cable (Green)

Overview

The Black Box EVNSL82-0005 is a five-foot CAT5e patch cable designed to support Fast Ethernet networks with reliable performance. It operates at frequencies up to 350 MHz and supports data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps, making it suitable for voice, data, audio, and video transmissions without interruption. The cable features tightly wound 24-AWG twisted pairs to control impedance and reduce near-end crosstalk, while 50-micron gold-plated contacts ensure low signal loss and corrosion resistance.

Its molded snagless boot protects the RJ-45 latch during installation, reducing the risk of damage when pulling through raceways or patch panels. The bright green jacket helps quickly identify the cable among multiple connections, which is especially useful in crowded server rooms or office setups.
