Black Box CAT5EPC-B-001-WH Stranded Ethernet Cable
Overview
The Black Box CAT5EPC-B-001-WH is a stranded Category 5e Ethernet cable designed for reliable data transmission up to 100 MHz. This cable is crucial for ensuring stable network connectivity in environments where flexibility and repeated movement are required, such as connecting IP cameras to network switches or extending network runs within a structured cabling system. Its stranded construction offers better flexibility than solid core cable, making it suitable for patch cords or applications requiring frequent bending.
Compatibility
This CAT5e cable is compatible with all standard Ethernet networking equipment that uses RJ45 connectors, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), and workstations. It supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) speeds, provided the connected devices and other cabling in the link also meet Gigabit specifications. It is suitable for use with any network device requiring a standard Ethernet connection.
Installation Notes
Due to its stranded core, this cable is not recommended for permanent in-wall or plenum-rated installations where solid-conductor cable is typically specified. It is best suited for patch cable applications or where flexibility is paramount. Ensure proper termination with RJ45 connectors designed for stranded conductors to maintain signal integrity.
