Black Box C5S-R-SB-STR-BL-30 Shielded Cat5e Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box C5S-R-SB-STR-BL-30 is a 30-foot, shielded (STP) Cat5e patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in demanding network environments. Its stranded copper conductors and PVC jacket make it suitable for fixed installations where flexibility and durability are required. This cable ensures signal integrity for IP surveillance cameras and other network devices, minimizing interference and packet loss.
Compatibility
This Cat5e STP cable is compatible with all network devices requiring an RJ45 Ethernet connection, including but not limited to:
- IP cameras from brands such as Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua.
- Network Video Recorders (NVRs) and Digital Video Recorders (DVRs).
- Network switches and routers.
- Any device utilizing standard Ethernet connectivity.
It is designed to meet or exceed Cat5e specifications, supporting data rates up to 1 Gbps over distances up to 100 meters (328 feet).
Installation Notes
The stranded copper conductors offer better flexibility than solid core cables, making them easier to route in tight spaces or around corners. The overall shield (foil and braid) protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), crucial for maintaining clean signals in environments with high electrical noise, such as near power supplies or industrial machinery. The black PVC jacket provides a balance of flexibility and durability for indoor applications.
