Black Box 15ft GigaTrue CAT6 Snagless Ethernet Patch Cable (Black)

Overview

The Black Box EVNSL647-0015 is a 15-foot GigaTrue CAT6 Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver reliable Gigabit network speeds for a variety of environments including offices, classrooms, and home labs. It supports high-frequency signals up to 550 MHz, which ensures stable performance during demanding tasks like large file transfers, video conferencing, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. This cable is ideal for connecting switches, routers, laptops, VoIP phones, and other network devices with confidence in signal integrity and durability.

Key features

• Tested to 550 MHz, providing extra signal headroom beyond standard CAT6 requirements to maintain strong data throughput.
• 50 micron gold-plated contacts reduce signal loss and maintain clean connections for consistent network performance.
• Snagless boot design protects the release tab, preventing damage when pulling the cable through tight spaces or patch panels.
• 24 AWG stranded copper conductors offer a balance of flexibility and durability, making the cable easier to route and less prone to damage.
• Rated for 750 insertions, ensuring connectors remain secure and reliable even after frequent plugging and unplugging.
• Compatible with 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T standards, supporting both modern and legacy network equipment.
• Fifteen-foot length provides versatile reach for connecting devices across racks, desktops, or wall plates without excess slack.
