Description

Black Box CAT5EPC-005-OR Cat 5e Patch Cable

Overview

The Black Box CAT5EPC-005-OR is a 5-foot, 100 MHz Cat 5e Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in commercial and enterprise environments. Its molded, snagless connectors prevent cable damage during installation and removal, making it suitable for frequent network reconfigurations or equipment swaps. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates suitability for in-wall and riser applications, offering a degree of fire safety compliance.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment requiring an RJ45 connection, including network switches, routers, firewalls, IP cameras, NVRs, and workstations. It supports data rates up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and is backward compatible with Cat 5 standards. Use it to connect devices within a network rack, from a wall plate to a device, or between network closets.

Installation Notes

The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 clip, preventing accidental disengagement and simplifying cable management. The stranded copper conductors offer flexibility, making the cable easier to route in tight spaces compared to solid-core cables. Ensure the CM rating is appropriate for your local building codes and installation requirements.
