Black Box EVCRB81-0003 CAT5E 350-MHz Snagless Stranded Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box EVCRB81-0003 is a 3-foot, black CAT5E patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity in surveillance and IT deployments. Its stranded copper conductors offer flexibility, making it suitable for patch panel to device connections where frequent movement or tight bends are present. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 connector clip, preventing accidental disconnections during installation or maintenance, which is critical for uninterrupted video streams.
Compatibility
This CAT5E cable is backward compatible with CAT5 standards and supports data rates up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) at frequencies up to 350 MHz. It is suitable for connecting IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), managed switches, and other network devices requiring an Ethernet connection. Use it with any network equipment that utilizes standard RJ45 connectors and operates within CAT5E specifications.
Installation Notes
The stranded conductor construction provides greater flexibility than solid core cables, simplifying installation in dense rack environments or where routing requires navigating tight spaces. The snagless boot design ensures the connector tab is protected, preventing it from breaking off during insertion or removal. Ensure proper termination and strain relief to maintain signal integrity.
