Black Box EVNSL80-0002

Overview

The Black Box EVNSL80-0002 is a 2-foot Ethernet patch cable designed to meet the CAT5e standard, providing reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections for switches, patch panels, and network-ready devices. It supports frequencies up to 350 MHz, which is more than three times the standard 100 MHz, ensuring stable performance for 1000BASE-T networks, large file transfers, VoIP, and streaming media. Its compact length and flexible design make it an excellent choice for setups where space and cable management are important.

Key features

• Supports bandwidth up to 350 MHz and data rates of 1 Gbps for high-speed network performance
• 24 AWG stranded copper conductors provide a balance of flexibility and strong signal integrity
• 50 micron gold plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain consistent conductivity over time
• Connectors tested to withstand up to 750 insertion and removal cycles, ensuring durability in frequent reconfigurations
• Snagless boot design protects the latch from damage and adds strain relief during installation or cable routing
• Gray jacket color helps with easy identification and blends well in typical rack environments

Connectivity and compatibility

This patch cable is compatible with any device supporting CAT5e Ethernet connections, including network switches, routers, patch panels, and network-enabled devices. Its 1 Gbps data rate and enhanced bandwidth make it suitable for modern home and office networks that require stable and fast wired connections.

Installation and setup

The short 2-foot length is ideal for minimizing cable clutter and reducing excess slack in tight spaces such as server racks or desktop setups. The snagless boot design protects the connectors during installation, making it easier to route the cable through cable management systems without damaging the latch or stressing the cable.

Ideal uses and environments

This cable works well in environments where a short, reliable Ethernet connection is needed, such as connecting a switch to a patch panel or linking a streaming device to a router. IT professionals, home network installers, and lab engineers who frequently reconfigure equipment will find its durability and flexibility especially beneficial.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
