Black Box 2ft Slim Boot Shielded 100 MHz CAT5e Ethernet Patch Cable (Gray)

The Black Box EVNSL0172GY-0002 is a two-foot CAT5e patch cable that delivers stable network performance in locations where electrical noise is a constant challenge. Its foil shielding blocks electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, so your data moves without the dropouts that can slow down critical work.

Tested to 100 MHz, the cable handles everything from 100BASE-TX connections to full-speed Gigabit Ethernet. Each plug uses 50-micron gold plating that resists corrosion and keeps contact resistance low, giving you a clean signal through every one of the 750 rated insertion cycles. A slim molded boot protects the latch yet keeps the plug compact, which is useful when every port in a high-density patch panel is already occupied.

Choose this cable when you need a short, reliable link between adjacent switches, a PoE injector and an access point, or a desktop and a wall plate. Its gray jacket blends neatly into office environments, lab benches, and rack installations where orderly cabling matters.

Highlights:

• Shielded design reduces EMI and RFI interference for reliable data flow
• Two-foot length keeps cable runs tidy in racks and workstations
• Supports frequencies up to 100 MHz for 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX networks
• 50-micron gold-plated contacts maintain low resistance and resist wear
• Slim molded boot protects the latch while saving space in crowded panels
• Rated for 750 insertion and extraction cycles to handle frequent moves or reconfigurations
