Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 5e UTP patch cable utilizes 24 AWG stranded copper conductors, offering flexibility and durability for frequent handling. The snagless boot design prevents accidental disconnection and protects the connector latch from damage during installation and maintenance.
Engineered to minimize Near End Crosstalk (NEXT), the cable maintains signal integrity in high-density patching scenarios. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, delivering both data and power to compatible devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
The GigaBase cable combines practical features with robust construction for dependable network performance. Its booted design with strain relief extends cable life in dynamic environments where cables are frequently moved or rearranged.
Durability & Protection
The snagless boot and reinforced strain relief prevent connector damage and cable failure, reducing maintenance costs and downtime in active network setups.
- Snagless boot prevents latch damage
- Strain relief reduces cable stress
- PVC jacket resists abrasion
Performance Features
Gold-plated contacts ensure optimal conductivity, while the UTP construction with NEXT reduction maintains signal quality across the entire 6-foot length.
- Gold contact plating for reliable connections
- NEXT reduction for clean signals
- PoE support for powered devices
Deployment / Use Cases
This patch cable is ideal for connecting network equipment in server rooms, data centers, and office environments. Its 6-foot length provides optimal reach for rack-to-rack or rack-to-wall connections without excessive cable slack.
Common applications include patching between network switches and patch panels, connecting wall outlets to computers or printers, and linking VoIP phones to network ports. The yellow color allows for easy cable identification and organization in complex cabling systems.
Data Center Patching
Use for short connections between switches and patch panels in rack-mounted configurations, where the snagless boot prevents accidental disconnections during equipment maintenance.
Office Network Connections
Connect wallplates to desktop computers, printers, or network devices in commercial offices, with the CM-rated jacket meeting building code requirements for riser spaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?
This Black Box GigaBase Cat.5e cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second), making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networks. It meets Category 5e specifications for 1000BASE-T applications, providing reliable high-speed connectivity for most office and data center environments.
What types of connectors does this cable have?
Both ends of the cable feature standard RJ45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts. Each end has a single RJ45 network connector, making it a straight-through patch cable suitable for connecting network devices to patch panels, switches, or wall outlets in typical Ethernet installations.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with no additional shielding. It relies on the twisted pair design to reduce electromagnetic interference, which is sufficient for most office and data center environments. The cable includes features like Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) reduction to maintain signal quality without shielding.
What does the CM jacket rating mean?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating indicates the cable meets specific fire safety standards for riser applications in commercial buildings. CM-rated cables can be installed in vertical riser spaces between floors, making this cable suitable for office buildings, data centers, and other commercial installations where building codes require this rating.
Can this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable supports Power over Ethernet applications. The 24 AWG conductors and Category 5e construction can deliver both data and power to compatible devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, security cameras, and other PoE-enabled equipment, eliminating the need for separate power cables.
What is the advantage of the snagless boot design?
The snagless boot protects the RJ45 connector latch from accidental disconnection and damage during installation, maintenance, or in high-density patching environments. This design prevents the latch from catching on other cables or equipment, reducing downtime and extending the cable's service life in frequently accessed network areas.
