Description

Black Box EVNSL0172BL-0003 Shielded CAT5E Patch Cable

Overview

The Black Box EVNSL0172BL-0003 is a shielded CAT5E patch cable designed to maintain signal integrity in demanding network environments, particularly for surveillance deployments where data corruption can lead to critical information loss. Its shielded construction mitigates electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring reliable data transmission for IP cameras and network video recorders (NVRs). This cable is suitable for installations near power cables or in areas with high electrical noise.

Compatibility

This CAT5E patch cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment utilizing RJ45 connectors, including but not limited to: Black Box IP cameras, NVRs, network switches, and routers. It supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and is backward compatible with CAT5 standards. The shielded design is particularly beneficial when connecting devices in close proximity to power sources or industrial machinery.

Installation Notes

Ensure RJ45 connectors are fully seated in their respective ports for optimal performance. The shielding requires proper grounding at one end of the cable run to effectively dissipate interference. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could compromise the internal conductors and shielding integrity.
