Black Box 20ft CAT5e 350-MHz Red Ethernet Patch Cable (Red)

The Black Box EVNSL83-0020 is a Category 5e Ethernet patch cable that keeps data moving smoothly in settings where performance matters. The cable measures 20 feet and features a jacket in a bright red color that is easy to trace in busy racks. It delivers bandwidth up to 350 MHz, providing extra headroom beyond the standard CAT5e specification. That additional bandwidth helps prevent slowdowns during Fast Ethernet and Gigabit transfers, voice calls, video streams, and Power over Ethernet deployments.

Inside the jacket is a construction that uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and remains flexible without sacrificing signal integrity. Each RJ45 plug relies on contacts plated with 50 micron gold, so connections stay clean and low in resistance even after many re-patches. A snagless boot shields the latch when the cable is pulled through cable managers or behind equipment, reducing the chance of damage and extending service life.

The cable meets the requirements for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T, making it a straightforward choice for offices, data centers, classrooms, and home networks. Use it between a switch and a patch panel, link a router to a desktop workstation, or power and connect PoE cameras and phones. With an insertion and extraction life rated at up to 750 cycles, it is ready for environments where cabling needs change frequently.
