Black Box 2ft CAT5e Snagless Ethernet Patch Cable (Black)

The Black Box CAT5EPC-002-BK is a two-foot CAT5e Ethernet patch cable that lets you move data quickly and without fuss between network devices. It follows CAT5e standards rated to 100 MHz, so it can carry 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or Gigabit Ethernet signals with the consistency you expect in a professional or home setup.

Each end has an RJ45 plug equipped with a molded snagless boot. The boot shields the release clip while you pull the cable through crowded racks or behind desks, preventing the kind of connector damage that shortens a cable’s life. Inside the PVC jacket you will find 26 AWG stranded conductors that add flexibility, making the cable easy to route in tight spaces. Gold-plated contacts maintain a clean electrical path and help guard against corrosion.

Use this short patch lead to link a laptop to a wall port, connect a switch to a patch panel, or tidy up any situation where excess cable would only add clutter. Its black jacket blends into most office furniture and equipment racks, giving network builds a clean, finished look without the need for custom lengths.
