Description

Black Box EVNSL87-06IN CAT5E 6ft Stranded Ethernet Patch Cable

Overview

The Black Box EVNSL87-06IN is a 6-foot, CAT5E, unshielded, stranded Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity in commercial environments. Its snagless boot design prevents cable damage during installation and removal, while the stranded conductors offer superior flexibility compared to solid core cables, making it ideal for applications requiring frequent movement or connection changes, such as connecting network video recorders (NVRs) to switches or deploying temporary network drops.

Compatibility

This CAT5E cable is backward compatible with all previous Ethernet standards and is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) networks. It supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbps and bandwidth up to 350 MHz, ensuring sufficient performance for standard IP surveillance camera streams, network switches, routers, and other network-attached devices. Use this cable for connecting devices within a rack or for short patch runs where flexibility is key.

Installation Notes

The CM (Communications Multipurpose) PVC jacket rating indicates this cable is suitable for use in-wall or in conduit within commercial buildings, adhering to fire safety standards. The stranded copper conductors provide excellent flexibility for routing in tight spaces or around equipment, but they are not recommended for permanent in-wall runs exceeding 200 feet without intermediate termination, as signal degradation can occur over longer distances compared to solid core cable. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 connector's clip from damage.
