Description

Black Box C5S-R-SB-STR-GY-50 Shielded CAT5e Cable

Overview

The Black Box C5S-R-SB-STR-GY-50 is a 50-foot, shielded, stranded CAT5e Ethernet cable designed for robust data transmission in environments prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Its stranded copper conductors offer superior flexibility compared to solid core, making it ideal for patch cords or applications requiring frequent movement. The gray PVC jacket provides basic protection for indoor installations. This cable ensures reliable connectivity for IP cameras, network switches, and other data devices where signal integrity is critical.

Compatibility

This CAT5e cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment supporting 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet, including but not limited to: Black Box network switches, IP cameras, access control panels, and NVRs. It meets the CAT5e standard, ensuring performance up to 1 Gbps over 100 meters. Use with shielded RJ45 connectors and shielded patch panels for maximum EMI/RFI protection.

Installation Notes

For optimal performance and to maintain shielding integrity, use with shielded RJ45 connectors and ensure proper grounding of the cable shield to network equipment chassis where applicable. Avoid sharp bends exceeding a 4x cable diameter radius to prevent conductor damage. Maximum recommended continuous length for 1 Gbps operation is 100 meters (328 feet).
