Black Box 1ft GigaTrue CAT6 550MHz UTP Patch Cable (Yellow)

Overview

The Black Box EVNSL644-0001 is a one-foot Category 6 patch cable designed to deliver reliable network connections with performance tested up to 550 MHz, which exceeds the standard CAT6 requirements. This cable is ideal for short-distance connections such as inside-rack patching, jumpers between patch panels, or linking nearby switches and Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices. Its bright yellow jacket simplifies cable identification in busy data centers, wiring closets, or home labs.

Key features

• Performance tested to 550 MHz, providing more than double the headroom of standard CAT6 cables for enhanced data integrity.
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design with four pairs of 24 AWG conductors to minimize crosstalk and signal loss across data, voice, video, and PoE traffic.
• 50-micron gold-plated contacts ensure consistent conductivity and durability through many insertion and removal cycles.
• Snagless boot design protects the latch and reduces strain during installation or cable pulls, preventing damage in tight spaces.
• RJ-45 connectors rated for 750 mating cycles, supporting frequent maintenance without premature failure.
• Compact one-foot length fits perfectly for short patch runs, reducing cable clutter and improving airflow in racks.
• Bright yellow PVC jacket enhances visibility and organization in dense cabling environments.
