The Black Box Connect Basic CAT5E Bulk Cable, model C5E-CM-SLD-BL, provides a reliable foundation for your network infrastructure. Constructed to industry standards, this 1000-foot spool of blue CAT5E cable ensures consistent data transmission for IP surveillance systems, network switches, and other Ethernet-based devices. Its bulk format is ideal for custom-length installations, allowing integrators to precisely provision cable runs without excess slack, simplifying deployments in commercial environments.
This CAT5E cable is designed for use with standard RJ45 connectors and is backward compatible with CAT5 standards. It supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and is suitable for 10/100/1000 Base-T networks. Use it with any IP camera, network switch, router, or network-attached storage device requiring Ethernet connectivity. It is also compatible with standard network installation tools and termination hardware.
For optimal performance and to maintain signal integrity, ensure proper termination techniques are used with RJ45 connectors. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable run, as this can degrade signal quality. Maintain a minimum bend radius of 4 times the cable diameter during installation. For runs exceeding 100 meters (328 feet), consider using network switches or repeaters to maintain signal strength.
