Black Box 1ft GigaTrue CAT6 550MHz Snagless Ethernet Cable (Gray)

Overview

The Black Box EVNSL640-0001 is a CAT6 Ethernet patch cable designed to provide reliable network connections with bandwidth support up to 550 MHz, exceeding the standard 250 MHz requirement. At one foot in length, it is ideal for short cable runs in environments where neatness and efficient cable management are important, such as inside racks, between switches and patch panels, or at workstations.

Constructed with 24 AWG stranded conductors and four twisted pairs, this cable balances flexibility with signal integrity. Its RJ45 connectors feature 50-micron gold plated contacts to ensure low electrical resistance and corrosion resistance, while the snagless boot protects the latch from damage during installation and removal. Rated for up to 750 insertion and extraction cycles, it offers durability for frequent use.

Key features

• Supports frequencies up to 550 MHz, providing extra bandwidth for Gigabit Ethernet, Power over Ethernet, and AV traffic
• Compact one-foot length helps reduce clutter and simplifies cable management in tight spaces
• Gold plated contacts maintain strong, low-resistance connections and resist corrosion over time
• Snagless boot design prevents the latch from catching or breaking during handling
• Durable RJ45 connectors rated for 750 insertion and extraction cycles ensure long-lasting performance
• Flexible stranded conductors allow easy routing without compromising signal quality

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is compatible with any device that uses standard RJ45 Ethernet ports, including VoIP phones, wireless access points, desktop computers, switches, and patch panels. It supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps, making it suitable for high-speed data transfer, Power over Ethernet setups, and audio/video signal transmission in professional and home network environments.

Ideal uses and environments

The short length and robust construction make this cable well suited for use in offices, classrooms, labs, and home networks where space is limited and cable management is a priority. It works well for connecting devices within racks or at workstations without excess cable creating clutter, supporting stable and fast network connections in demanding setups.
