Black Box CAT5EPC-007-GN Cat5e Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box CAT5EPC-007-GN is a 7-foot, black Cat5e patch cable constructed to industry standards. This cable provides a reliable physical connection for Ethernet networks, suitable for connecting network devices like IP cameras, switches, and NVRs in structured cabling systems. Its standard construction ensures compatibility with common network hardware, making it a straightforward choice for basic network runs where cable length and color are primary considerations.
Compatibility
This Cat5e patch cable is compatible with any network device requiring an RJ45 Ethernet connection, including but not limited to:
- IP cameras (e.g., Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, Dahua models)
- Network switches (e.g., Cisco Catalyst, Ubiquiti UniFi, Netgear Managed series)
- Network Video Recorders (NVRs)
- Workstations and servers with standard Ethernet ports
- Routers and firewalls
It supports data rates up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) over its specified length, adhering to TIA/EIA standards.
Installation Notes
This is a standard passive Ethernet cable. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive bending radius (typically 4x cable diameter) to prevent internal conductor damage. Avoid routing near high-voltage power lines to minimize potential interference. The RJ45 connectors are designed for standard Ethernet ports and do not require special tools for connection.
