Black Box EVNSL641-0020 CAT6 550 MHz Snagless Stranded Ethernet Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box EVNSL641-0020 is a 20-foot, Category 6 stranded Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity in environments requiring flexibility and durability. Its snagless design prevents connector damage during installation and removal, making it suitable for dense network racks and frequent reconfigurations. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) PVC jacket offers a balance of flexibility and fire safety for in-wall or riser applications. This cable is engineered to support data rates up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter distances, ensuring consistent performance for surveillance systems and other network infrastructure.
Compatibility
This CAT6 cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 networks. It is suitable for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, and workstations that utilize standard RJ45 Ethernet ports. It supports 10/100/1000Base-T and 10GBase-T Ethernet standards, provided the total cable run length does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet) for 1Gbps or 55 meters (180 feet) for 10Gbps, as per TIA/EIA standards. The stranded conductors offer better flexibility than solid conductors, making it ideal for patch panel to device connections.
Installation Notes
The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 connector's clip, preventing accidental disconnections and simplifying cable management in crowded environments. The CM-rated PVC jacket is suitable for use in walls and between floors, but not for direct burial or use in plenum spaces where a plenum-rated cable is required. Ensure proper cable management to avoid kinks or excessive tension, which can degrade performance, especially at higher frequencies.
