Black Box EVE530-01M5 CAT5E Stranded Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box EVE530-01M5 is a 100 MHz CAT5E stranded patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity in commercial and surveillance environments. Its molded boot provides strain relief, preventing damage at the connector interface, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity in fixed installations. This cable is suitable for 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet networks, ensuring consistent data transfer for IP cameras, NVRs, and other network devices. The stranded conductor construction offers greater flexibility compared to solid core cables, making it easier to route in tight spaces or around equipment racks.
Compatibility
This CAT5E cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment requiring an RJ45 connection, including but not limited to: Black Box IP cameras, NVRs, managed and unmanaged network switches, routers, and workstations. It supports data rates up to 1 Gbps, making it suitable for most IP surveillance streams and general IT networking needs. Ensure your connected devices support 100 MHz bandwidth requirements for optimal performance.
Installation Notes
The molded boot on the EVE530-01M5 provides strain relief at the RJ45 connector, reducing the risk of cable failure due to repeated bending or pulling. The stranded conductors offer better flexibility for installation in conduits or cable trays where frequent bending is expected. Avoid sharp bends exceeding a 4x cable diameter radius to maintain signal integrity.
