Black Box 2ft CAT6 250-MHz Stranded Shielded Ethernet Cable (Red)

Overview

The Black Box EVNSL0272RD-0002 is a shielded CAT6 Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable gigabit networking performance in environments prone to electrical interference. Measuring 2 feet in length and featuring a bright red jacket, this cable is easy to identify and manage within crowded racks or cable trays. It supports data transmission frequencies up to 250 MHz, ensuring steady and fast connections for both modern and legacy network equipment.

Key features

• Individually shielded twisted pairs combined with an overall tinned copper braid minimize electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, maintaining signal integrity in noisy environments.
• 50-micron gold-plated contacts on RJ-45 connectors provide excellent conductivity and resist corrosion, supporting long-term reliable connections.
• Connectors are tested to withstand approximately 750 insertion and extraction cycles, ensuring durability for frequent use.
• Compact 2-foot length is ideal for short patching between nearby ports, reducing cable clutter and improving airflow in network setups.
• Bright red jacket enhances visibility for quick cable identification and organized cable management in busy installations.
• Compatible with 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T standards, making it versatile for various network speeds and devices.
