Black Box EVNSL0504A-1000 CAT5E Shielded Ethernet Bulk Cable
Overview
The Black Box EVNSL0504A-1000 is a 1000-foot spool of Category 5e (CAT5E) bulk Ethernet cable designed for reliable data transmission in commercial environments. Featuring a 350 MHz bandwidth rating and a foil-shielded twisted pair (f/UTP) construction, this cable minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, making it suitable for demanding applications like surveillance systems, AV installations, and data networks where signal integrity is critical. The CMR (Communications Multipurpose Residential) PVC jacket ensures compliance for use in vertical pathways within non-plenum spaces.
Compatibility
This CAT5E cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that utilizes RJ45 connectors, including managed and unmanaged network switches, routers, IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), and AV distribution systems. It supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and is backward compatible with CAT5 standards. For optimal performance, it is recommended to pair this cable with compatible CAT5E or higher-rated connectors and patch panels.
Installation Notes
The EVNSL0504A-1000 features a yellow PVC jacket suitable for CMR (riser) applications, meaning it can be run vertically between floors in non-plenum-rated areas. The foil shielding (f/UTP) requires proper grounding at termination points to effectively dissipate interference. Ensure termination is performed using appropriate CAT5E RJ45 connectors and a certified crimping tool to maintain signal integrity and meet performance specifications. Avoid sharp bends exceeding a 4-inch radius to prevent damage to the internal conductors and shielding.
