Black Box 5ft CAT6 550MHz Snagless Ethernet Patch Cable (Purple)

The Black Box EVNSL648-0005 is a five-foot CAT6 patch cable built for networks that move large volumes of data, voice, and video. Rated to 550 MHz, it keeps Gigabit Ethernet links running at full speed, making it a dependable choice for office backbones, server rooms, and home-lab setups that demand consistent throughput.

Inside the purple jacket, 24 AWG stranded copper conductors deliver clean signals while remaining flexible enough for tight bends behind desks or in crowded racks. Each RJ-45 plug uses 50-micron gold-plated contacts that maintain solid conductivity and stand up to repeated insertions without corrosion. A snagless boot surrounds the latch, so the clip stays intact when you pull the cable through dense cable managers or bundle it with other leads.

The cable is factory tested beyond the ANSI/TIA CAT6 specification, so you can trust it for tasks such as connecting PoE access points, linking patch panels to switches, or wiring VoIP phones. The five-foot length is ideal for short, tidy runs, and the distinct purple color helps you trace critical circuits at a glance.
