Black Box GigaBase Cat. 5e UTP Patch Network Cable – 1 Foot, Gray

The Black Box GigaBase Cat. 5e UTP Patch Network Cable is designed to deliver reliable high-speed connectivity for demanding Ethernet applications. Constructed with four pairs of 24-AWG conductors and 50-micron gold-plated contacts, this cable ensures superior conductivity and minimal signal loss, making it ideal for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-T, and other advanced network standards. Tested up to 350 MHz, it surpasses the industry standard of 100 MHz, significantly reducing near-end crosstalk (NEXT), impedance mismatches, and structural return loss, which are critical for maintaining optimal data integrity in bandwidth-intensive environments. The robust construction and high-quality materials, including environmentally friendly PVC jacket, guarantee durability and longevity for both temporary and permanent installations.

Designed with practicality in mind, the Black Box GigaBase cable features snagless boots that provide strain relief and protect connectors from damage during installation. These boots also facilitate easier handling and reduce the risk of accidental disconnections. The connectors are engineered for an extended insertion and extraction life of 750 cycles, ensuring long-term performance even with repeated plugging and unplugging. ETL verification to ANSI/TIA-568-C2 standards confirms that this cable meets rigorous industry specifications, providing confidence in its performance and reliability. Available in a sleek gray color, this cable can seamlessly blend into various networking environments, offering both functionality and aesthetic flexibility.

Perfect for building high-speed local area networks, the Black Box GigaBase Cat. 5e UTP Patch Cable provides a dependable solution for voice, data, audio/video, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) signals. Its construction exceeds basic industry requirements, ensuring your network operates at peak efficiency with minimal interference. Whether deploying new cabling or upgrading existing infrastructure, this cable offers a combination of high performance, durability, and ease of installation backed by a lifetime warranty, making it a trusted choice for network professionals.
