Black Box EVNSL0501A-1000 CAT5E Bulk Cable - Shielded, CMR PVC, Blue, 1000ft
Overview
The Black Box EVNSL0501A-1000 is a 1000-foot spool of shielded CAT5E Ethernet cable designed for reliable data transmission in commercial and industrial network installations. Featuring a CMR (Communications Multipurpose cable, Residential) PVC jacket, this cable is rated for in-wall and riser applications, ensuring safe and compliant deployment. The foil shielding (f/utp) protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, critical for maintaining signal integrity in environments with high electrical noise, such as manufacturing floors or data centers. This cable is essential for building robust network backbones for IP cameras, access control systems, and other networked devices.
Compatibility
This CAT5E cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that utilizes RJ45 connectors, including 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) networks. It is suitable for use with network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, access control panels, and VoIP phones from all major manufacturers, provided they adhere to Ethernet standards. The 350 MHz bandwidth rating ensures performance well beyond the requirements for Gigabit Ethernet, offering headroom for future network upgrades.
Installation Notes
The CMR rating indicates this cable is suitable for use in vertical runs between floors (riser applications) but not in plenum spaces. Always consult local building codes and fire safety regulations for proper cable installation. The cable should be pulled carefully to avoid kinking or damaging the shielding. Terminate with compatible CAT5E RJ45 connectors and ensure proper grounding of the shield to prevent ground loops and maximize interference rejection.
