Black Box EVNSL0172GY-0006

Overview

The Black Box EVNSL0172GY-0006 is a shielded CAT5e Ethernet patch cable designed to provide reliable data transmission in environments prone to electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. With a length of 6 feet and support for frequencies up to 100 MHz, it is well suited for Fast Ethernet networks handling voice, data, and video applications that demand stable and consistent connections.

This cable features four twisted pairs wrapped in Mylar tape and an overall aluminum/Mylar shield to minimize interference. Its 50-micron gold-plated contacts enhance conductivity and reduce signal loss, while molded slimline boots offer strain relief to maintain connection integrity in tight spaces or high-density setups. Rated for up to 750 insertion and extraction cycles, it delivers durability for both professional and home networking needs.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is compatible with Fast Ethernet devices and networks that require shielded cabling to maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. It works well with switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards that support CAT5e standards. The shielded design makes it a strong choice for office setups with multiple electronic devices or home entertainment systems where interference could affect network performance.

Durability and build quality

Constructed with high-quality materials, this cable is built to withstand frequent plugging and unplugging without degradation. The molded slimline boots not only provide strain relief but also help prevent damage to the connectors in tight spaces. The gold-plated contacts resist corrosion, ensuring consistent conductivity over time. These features combine to make the cable a dependable component in both professional and home networking environments.

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.
