Black Box EVNSL0172BK-0007 CAT5E Stranded Ethernet Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box EVNSL0172BK-0007 is a 100 MHz CAT5E stranded Ethernet patch cable designed for environments where space is constrained. Its slim form-factor molded boot allows for easier routing and connection in dense network racks or behind equipment, reducing strain on the connector and preventing damage. This cable is suitable for standard network data transmission and PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications up to 100 meters.
Compatibility
This CAT5E cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that utilizes RJ45 connectors, including switches, routers, network cameras, NVRs, and access control panels. It supports data rates up to 100 Mbps and is suitable for 10/100 Base-T Ethernet networks. For Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Base-T), a CAT6 or higher cable is recommended for optimal performance and reliability, especially over longer distances.
Installation Notes
The stranded copper conductors provide flexibility, making this cable easier to pull through conduit or around tight corners compared to solid core cables. The slim, snagless molded boot design protects the RJ45 connector and prevents accidental disconnections, while also allowing for higher port density in patch panels and switches. Ensure the cable is not bent tighter than its minimum bend radius (typically 4x cable diameter) to avoid internal conductor damage.
