Black Box 2ft CAT6 250-MHz Shielded Ethernet Patch Cable (Black)

Overview

The Black Box EVNSL0272BK-0002 is a two foot Category 6 shielded Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance in environments prone to electrical noise. Tested to the full 250 MHz Cat 6 standard, it supports 1000BASE-T traffic and other high-speed applications without packet loss or slowdowns. Its compact length is ideal for neat cable management between switches, patch panels, servers, or from docking stations to wall jacks.

Key features

• Double shielding with individually foil-wrapped twisted pairs and a tinned copper braid reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference for stable data transmission.
• 50 micron gold plated contacts ensure consistent conductivity and low resistance connections over time.
• Connectors are rated for approximately 750 insertion and extraction cycles, providing durability for frequent patching in busy network environments.
• Short two foot length minimizes cable clutter and tangling, making it easier to maintain organized racks and workspaces.
• Designed to perform well in offices, data centers, industrial plants, and home networks where interference can disrupt connectivity.

Connectivity and compatibility

This patch cable features standard RJ45 modular plugs compatible with all Cat 6 Ethernet ports. Its shielding makes it especially suitable for installations near sources of electrical noise such as motors, fluorescent lighting, and power supplies. It works seamlessly with switches, patch panels, servers, docking stations, and wall jacks in both professional and home network setups.

Ideal uses and environments

The cable’s robust shielding and durable connectors make it a strong choice for data centers, broadcast studios, and industrial sites where interference is common. It also fits well in office environments and home networks, supporting smooth video calls, online gaming, and uninterrupted data transfers. Its short length helps maintain tidy cable runs in dense rack configurations or desktop setups.
