Black Box C5S-R-SB-STR-BL-100 CAT5E STP Stranded Cable
Overview
The Black Box C5S-R-SB-STR-BL-100 is a 100-foot, black, shielded CAT5E cable designed for reliable data transmission in demanding environments. Its stranded copper conductors and overall foil shield make it suitable for fixed installations where flexibility and protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) are critical, such as connecting IP cameras to network switches or extending network runs in industrial settings.
Compatibility
This CAT5E cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that utilizes RJ45 connectors, including 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet networks. It is suitable for use with most IP surveillance cameras, network switches, routers, and NVRs from brands such as Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua, provided they use standard Ethernet connectivity. Ensure your network devices support CAT5E specifications for optimal performance.
Installation Notes
This cable features stranded copper conductors, which offer better flexibility than solid conductors, making it easier to route through conduits and around corners. The overall foil shield (STP) requires proper grounding at one end (typically the switch end) to effectively dissipate EMI. Terminate using standard RJ45 connectors designed for stranded cable. The PVC jacket is suitable for indoor use and offers moderate protection against abrasion and environmental factors.
