Black Box EVNSL0172YL-0003 CAT5E Stranded Ethernet Cable
Overview
The Black Box EVNSL0172YL-0003 is a 100 MHz CAT5E stranded Ethernet cable designed for robust network connectivity in commercial and industrial environments. This 305-meter (1000 ft) spool of black jacketed cable is suitable for horizontal cabling runs where flexibility is required, such as in patch panels or connecting to devices that may experience movement. Its stranded construction ensures better flexibility than solid core cable, making it easier to manage in tight spaces and reducing the risk of damage during installation or relocation.
Compatibility
This CAT5E cable is compatible with all standard Ethernet networking equipment supporting up to 100 Mbps speeds, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, access control panels, and VoIP phones. It meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for Category 5E, ensuring interoperability with existing infrastructure and devices designed for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) over shorter distances.
Installation Notes
The stranded conductor design of the EVNSL0172YL-0003 offers superior flexibility for installations requiring frequent bending or routing through complex pathways. While ideal for patch cords and horizontal runs where flexibility is paramount, it is not recommended for long-distance backbone runs where solid core cable provides better signal integrity and structural rigidity. Ensure proper termination using CAT5E-rated connectors and tools to maintain network performance and reliability.
