Black Box CAT5EPC-003-YL Yellow CAT5E Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box CAT5EPC-003-YL is a 3-foot, yellow Category 5e (CAT5E) patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity. This cable is essential for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, network switches, and NVRs, ensuring stable data transmission for surveillance systems and IT infrastructure. Its yellow color aids in visual identification and cable management within a rack or deployment environment.
Compatibility
This CAT5E patch cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that utilizes RJ45 connectors, including but not limited to: Black Box IP cameras, network switches, routers, NVRs, and workstations. It supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and is backward compatible with slower Ethernet standards.
Installation Notes
Utilize this cable for short-distance network runs within a cabinet or between adjacent devices. Ensure the RJ45 connectors are fully seated in their ports to maintain a stable connection.
