Black Box 10ft CAT6 Shielded Ethernet Patch Cable (Red)

Overview

The Black Box EVNSL0272RD-0010 is a 10 foot CAT6 shielded Ethernet patch cable designed to provide reliable and noise-resistant connections for Gigabit networks. It supports data transmission frequencies up to 250 MHz, making it suitable for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T network standards. The cable’s bright red jacket helps with quick identification in complex setups such as data centers, office floors, or home labs.

Key features

• Double shielding with individual foil sleeves for each twisted pair plus an overall foil shield reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference from nearby electrical sources.
• Fifty micron gold plated contacts ensure consistent conductivity and resist corrosion over time, maintaining a stable connection.
• Stranded 26 AWG conductors offer flexibility, making the cable easier to route and handle during frequent moves or reconfigurations.
• Low-profile molded boot protects the connector latch while allowing the cable to fit into tight port spaces without obstruction.
• Connectors are rated for approximately 750 insertion and removal cycles, supporting long-term durability in demanding environments.
• The vivid red PVC jacket simplifies cable management by making this cable easy to spot among other network cables.
