Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 5e patch cable meets industry standards for Ethernet networking, providing stable performance for Gigabit Ethernet applications. The UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference without additional shielding layers.
The cable's 24 AWG gauge ensures proper current carrying capacity and mechanical durability. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors maintain consistent electrical contact over repeated insertions and removals, while the snagless boots protect the connector latch from damage during cable management.
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 3 patch cable combines practical features with durable construction for reliable network performance. Its lockable design ensures secure connections that won't accidentally disconnect during routine maintenance or equipment movement.
Enhanced Durability
Stranded conductors and a rugged PVC jacket provide flexibility and damage resistance for long-term use in commercial environments.
- Damage-resistant construction
- Rugged PVC jacket material
- Stranded wire flexibility
Reliable Performance
Engineered to minimize Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) and maintain signal integrity across the entire cable length at Gigabit speeds.
- Optimized for 1 Gbit/s throughput
- Reduced crosstalk interference
- Consistent signal quality
Deployment / Use Cases
This patch cable is ideal for connecting network equipment in office environments, data centers, and commercial installations. The 6-foot length provides sufficient reach for connecting wall outlets to desktop devices or linking patch panels to switches in standard rack configurations.
Common applications include connecting computers to wallplates, linking patch panel ports to network switches, and establishing temporary connections between network devices during testing or reconfiguration. The blue color facilitates easy identification and cable management in multi-cable installations.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed this cable supports?
This Black Box GigaBase 3 Cat5e patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (1000 Mbps), making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networks. It maintains reliable performance for 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet standards commonly used in office and commercial environments.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of this patch cable feature standard RJ-45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts. The identical connectors make it ideal for connecting network devices to patch panels, wallplates, or directly between compatible Ethernet equipment without requiring adapters.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, meaning it does not include additional foil or braid shielding around the wire pairs. The twisted pair design itself provides sufficient interference reduction for most office environments while maintaining flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
What does the CM jacket rating mean?
The CM (Commercial) jacket rating indicates this cable meets fire safety standards for use in commercial building spaces. The Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket material provides durability and flame resistance appropriate for office environments, data centers, and other commercial installations.
What are the benefits of the snagless boot design?
The snagless boots protect the RJ-45 connector latches from accidental damage during installation, removal, or cable management. This design prevents the latch from catching on other cables or equipment, reducing connection issues and extending the cable's usable life in frequently reconfigured environments.
What devices is this patch cable compatible with?
This cable is fully compatible with standard Category 5e network equipment including patch panels, wallplates, network switches, routers, and computers with Ethernet ports. It supports connections for computers, printers, IP phones, and other network devices requiring Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
