Network Cable For Device Links

The Black Box CAT5EPC-006-BL is a Category 5e patch cord built for standard wired connections between network equipment. Its stranded conductors keep the cable flexible for routing around desks or through cable management channels. The 6 ft length suits typical rack-to-panel or wall-plate-to-PC runs. Both ends carry RJ-45 male plugs for universal compatibility.

Check Port Type And Required Reach

Verify that each device you plan to link presents an RJ-45 female jack rated for at least Category 5e performance. Measure the actual path the cable will follow to confirm a 6 ft span covers the distance with enough slack for strain relief. Ensure the installation environment does not require plenum-rated or shielded cable, as this model is neither.

Fits Standard Ethernet Ports Frees Longer Runs

The cord plugs directly into any RJ-45 port on switches, routers, patch panels or network interfaces without adapters. Its Category 5e rating supports common Gigabit Ethernet speeds over the full 6 ft distance. Using this shorter patch cable avoids the excess slack and signal loss that longer cables introduce in tight cabinet spaces.

Questions about this item

What connectors come on the cable and do I need anything else to plug it in?

The cable has RJ-45 male plugs on both ends so it connects directly to network ports; no extra adapters are required.

Is the 6 ft blue version the only length and colour offered for this model?

This model is supplied as a 6 ft blue cable; other lengths or colours would be different part numbers.

What network speed can I expect from a Category 5e cable of this length?

Category 5e is rated for Gigabit Ethernet, so the cable will handle 1 Gbps links across its 6 ft run.
