Black Box EVNSL0172BK-0025

Overview

The Black Box EVNSL0172BK-0025 is a 25-foot shielded CAT5e Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver consistent Gigabit Ethernet performance in environments with high electrical interference. It supports data transmission frequencies up to 100 MHz, making it suitable for 10/100/1000 Mbps networks. This cable is ideal for professional settings where reliable network connections are critical despite nearby power lines, fluorescent lighting, or industrial machinery.

Its construction includes four twisted pairs wrapped in Mylar tape with a dedicated drain wire, all enclosed in an aluminum and Mylar shield to block electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. The cable’s 26 AWG stranded copper conductors ensure stable signal transmission, while the black jacket and slimline molded boots provide practical benefits for installation and maintenance.

Key features

• Full shielding with aluminum Mylar wrap and drain wire effectively blocks EMI and RFI, preserving data integrity in noisy environments
• 25-foot length offers flexible routing options for connecting devices across rooms or through vertical cable management systems
• Certified to CAT5e 100 MHz standard, supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet for a wide range of network applications
• 26 AWG stranded copper conductors provide reliable and consistent signal transmission over the cable’s length
• RJ-45 connectors feature 50-micron gold-plated contacts that resist oxidation and maintain low resistance for strong connections
• Connectors rated for 750 insertion and extraction cycles allow frequent re-patching without premature wear
• Slimline molded boots reduce strain on the cable and fit neatly into high-density patch panels, simplifying cable management

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.
