The Black Box C5U-R-BC-STR-BL-2 is a 2-foot, stranded, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) CAT5E Ethernet cable. Designed for basic network connectivity, this blue cable is suitable for patch cord applications within server racks, connecting network devices to patch panels, or extending connections in structured cabling systems. Its stranded conductor construction offers flexibility, making it ideal for applications where the cable will be moved or flexed, such as within a data center or staging area. The C5U-R-BC-STR-BL-2 ensures reliable data transmission for IP surveillance cameras, network switches, and other IT infrastructure components.
This CAT5E cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment utilizing RJ45 connectors, including but not limited to: IP cameras from brands like Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua; network switches from Cisco, Ubiquiti, and Netgear; and network video recorders (NVRs) and servers. It meets the CAT5E standard, supporting data rates up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) over distances up to 100 meters (328 feet). Use this 2-foot length for short, clean connections where cable slack is undesirable.
The stranded copper conductors provide flexibility for easy routing in tight spaces. Ensure RJ45 connectors are properly terminated to maintain CAT5E performance standards. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could compromise signal integrity. For optimal performance, use within the specified 100-meter segment length for CAT5E.
