Black Box EVNSL72GY-20 CAT5E STP PVC Gray 568B Strnd Ptch CBL
Overview
The Black Box EVNSL72GY-20 is a 20-foot Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) CAT5E patch cable designed for structured cabling deployments. Its gray PVC jacket and stranded conductors make it suitable for horizontal runs and patch panel connections within commercial environments, ensuring reliable data transmission for IP-based security devices. The EVNSL72GY-20 provides a robust link for network cameras, NVRs, and other IP endpoints where signal integrity is critical.
Compatibility
This CAT5E STP cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment utilizing RJ45 connectors, including 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet networks. It is suitable for use with IP cameras, network switches, routers, and NVRs from any manufacturer that adhere to Ethernet standards. The shielded construction is particularly beneficial in environments with potential electromagnetic interference (EMI), such as industrial settings or areas with heavy electrical equipment, where unshielded cables might experience data errors.
Installation Notes
Utilize this cable for patch panel to device connections or within network closets. Ensure termination points are clean and free of debris. The stranded conductors offer flexibility for routing in tight spaces but are generally not recommended for permanent in-wall runs where solid-core cable is preferred for longer distances. The STP design requires proper grounding at both ends to effectively dissipate EMI.
