Black Box CAT5EPC-010-RD Cat5e Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box CAT5EPC-010-RD is a 10-foot Category 5e patch cable, terminated with RJ45 connectors on both ends. Its primary function is to provide a reliable physical connection for Ethernet networks, supporting data rates up to 1 Gbps. The red color-coding aids in identifying specific network runs, such as those designated for security cameras or critical data paths, simplifying management and troubleshooting in complex installations. This cable is suitable for connecting network devices like switches, routers, servers, and endpoints in commercial or industrial environments.
Compatibility
This CAT5EPC-010-RD cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that utilizes RJ45 connectors and supports Ethernet standards up to 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet). This includes, but is not limited to, network switches, routers, firewalls, IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), and workstations from brands such as Cisco, Ubiquiti, Netgear, Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and others employing standard Ethernet interfaces.
Installation Notes
Ensure connectors are fully seated in their respective ports to guarantee a stable connection. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed a radius of 1 inch, as this can degrade signal integrity and performance. The cable is designed for indoor use in temperature-controlled environments.
