Black Box CAT5EPC-025-GY Cat 5e Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box CAT5EPC-025-GY is a 25-foot Category 5e patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in networking applications. Its molded snagless boots protect the RJ45 connectors and prevent cable damage during installation or frequent moves, adds, and changes. This cable is suitable for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, and switches in commercial and industrial environments where consistent network performance is critical.
Compatibility
This Cat 5e cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps and is backward compatible with older Ethernet standards. It is designed for use with standard RJ45 connectors and is compatible with all network devices utilizing Ethernet ports, including but not limited to: IP cameras from brands like Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua; network switches from Cisco, Ubiquiti, and Netgear; and network video recorders (NVRs) from various manufacturers. Ensure your network infrastructure supports Cat 5e speeds for optimal performance.
Installation Notes
The cable features molded boots that prevent snagging when pulling through conduits or dense cable management systems. The 25-foot length provides flexibility for connecting devices within a typical rack or workstation setup without excessive slack. For optimal performance and longevity, avoid sharp bends exceeding a 90-degree angle and do not exceed the cable's bend radius limitations.
