Black Box 5ft GigaTrue Cat6 550MHz Snagless Ethernet Patch Cable (Gray)

The Black Box EVNSL640-0005 is a five-foot Cat6 patch cable that lets you move data at true Gigabit speed without second-guessing signal quality. Built for networks that push large files, stream high-definition video, or power PoE devices, it offers headroom up to 550 MHz, well beyond the 250 MHz minimum set by the Cat6 standard.

Inside the gray PVC jacket, 24 AWG stranded conductors maintain solid electrical performance while staying flexible enough for tight racks or cramped desks. Each RJ-45 plug has 50-micron gold-plated contacts, a detail that keeps resistance low and helps prevent corrosion over years of use. The cable is rated for 750 insertion and extraction cycles, so you can patch and repatch with confidence.

Installation is straightforward because the snagless boot shields the plug latch from catching on nearby cables or hardware. Whether you are linking a switch to a patch panel in a data center, connecting a VoIP phone on an office desk, or running a short jump from a home router to a gaming console, the cable slips in easily and stays protected.

The combination of dependable construction and generous bandwidth makes this cable a practical choice for system integrators, IT staff, and anyone building a future-ready home lab. You get consistent performance for voice, data, video, and Power over Ethernet without paying for features you do not need.
