Description

Black Box CAT5EPC-002-WH Cat5e Patch Cable

Overview

The Black Box Connect Basic CAT5EPC-002-WH is a 2-foot Category 5e patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity in IT and surveillance deployments. Constructed to industry standards, this cable ensures consistent data transfer for devices like IP cameras, network switches, and NVRs, minimizing signal loss and interference in short-run applications. Its white color aids in distinguishing it from other cable types in a mixed-cable environment.

Compatibility

This CAT5E patch cable is compatible with any network device utilizing standard RJ45 Ethernet ports. It is suitable for connecting IP cameras (e.g., Axis P32-series domes, Hikvision DS-2CD2 series bullets), network switches (e.g., Cisco Catalyst 2960, Ubiquiti UniFi Switch), and network video recorders (e.g., Synology NVR series, QNAP NVR series) where a short, reliable Ethernet link is required. It supports data rates up to 1 Gbps, making it suitable for 10/100/1000Base-T networks.

Installation Notes

This is a standard passive Ethernet cable. Ensure the RJ45 connectors are fully seated in their respective ports for optimal connection. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could damage the internal conductors, which is particularly important in tight-fitting installations common with IP camera systems.
