Description

Black Box EVNSL0173GN-0020 CAT5E Shielded Patch Cable

Overview

The Black Box EVNSL0173GN-0020 is a CAT5E, 100 MHz, shielded (F/UTP) Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in demanding network environments. Featuring molded boots for strain relief and enhanced durability, this cable is suitable for installations requiring plenum-rated construction, such as in commercial office spaces or data centers where fire safety codes mandate specific cable jacketing. The solid conductor construction ensures a stable connection for 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet speeds.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that utilizes RJ45 connectors, including managed and unmanaged network switches, routers, firewalls, IP cameras, NVRs, and workstations. It is designed to meet the specifications for 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) and supports data rates up to 1 Gbps. The CMP (Communications Multipurpose Plenum) rating ensures it meets strict fire safety standards for installation within air handling spaces.

Installation Notes

The molded boots provide strain relief at the connector, preventing damage from excessive pulling or bending. The solid conductors offer superior performance over stranded conductors for fixed installations but are less flexible. Ensure proper termination and cable management to maintain signal integrity and prevent interference, especially in high-density deployments.
