Black Box 20ft Shielded CAT5e SlimLine Plenum Ethernet Cable (Green)

The Black Box EVNSL0173GN-0020 is a 20-foot CAT5e Ethernet cable that delivers dependable network performance in environments where electronic noise, limited space, and strict building codes converge.

Engineered with full shielding, the cable defends each twisted pair against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. Even when routed near fluorescent lighting, motors, or bundles of other cables, your Fast Ethernet traffic for voice, data, and video remains clear. Every assembly is tested to 350 MHz, giving you headroom well beyond standard CAT5e requirements.

The jacket carries a plenum rating, which allows installation inside air-handling spaces such as drop ceilings and raised floors without additional conduit. This compliance not only meets fire-safety codes but also streamlines installation in commercial settings.

Molded boots with a slim profile relieve strain on the RJ-45 plugs and keep adjacent ports accessible in densely populated switches or patch panels. Inside each plug, 50-micron gold plating maintains solid conductivity through up to 750 insertions and removals, making the cable a reliable choice for frequent reconfiguration.

Network administrators wiring server racks, audiovisual integrators dressing conference rooms, and home users working near power equipment will all appreciate how the SlimLine design keeps the network tidy while delivering clean signal integrity.
