Black Box EVNSL88-0006 CAT5E Stranded Ethernet Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box EVNSL88-0006 is a stranded, unshielded CAT5E patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in environments requiring flexibility and durability. Its CM (Communications Multipurpose) PVC jacket makes it suitable for in-wall installations where plenum-rated cable is not mandated. This cable is critical for ensuring consistent network connectivity for IP cameras, network switches, and other data-dependent devices in a surveillance or IT infrastructure. The stranded conductors provide superior flexibility compared to solid conductors, reducing the risk of breakage during installation or in high-vibration areas.
Compatibility
This CAT5E cable supports data rates up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and is backward compatible with Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) networks. It is suitable for connecting any standard RJ45-terminated network devices, including but not limited to: IP cameras from brands like Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua; network switches from Cisco, Ubiquiti, and Netgear; and network video recorders (NVRs) and servers. It meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for CAT5E performance.
Installation Notes
The stranded construction of the EVNSL88-0006 makes it ideal for patch panel to switch connections or any application where the cable will be frequently moved or flexed. Avoid using this cable for long horizontal runs within walls where solid-core cable is typically preferred for signal integrity over distance. Ensure terminations are properly crimped using appropriate RJ45 connectors designed for stranded conductors to maintain signal integrity and meet CAT5E specifications.
