Black Box C5U-R-SB-STR-BL-100 CAT5E UTP Stranded Cable
Overview
The Black Box C5U-R-SB-STR-BL-100 is a 100-foot, black, CAT5E UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) stranded cable. This cable is designed for reliable data transmission in structured cabling systems, providing a foundational component for network infrastructure in commercial and surveillance environments. Its stranded construction offers flexibility, making it suitable for patch cords or applications requiring frequent movement.
Compatibility
This CAT5E cable supports data rates up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and bandwidth up to 100 MHz, making it compatible with standard networking equipment such as switches, routers, and network interface cards. It is suitable for connecting IP cameras, access control panels, and other network devices within a local area network (LAN). Ensure your network equipment adheres to CAT5E standards for optimal performance.
Installation Notes
The stranded copper conductors offer better flexibility than solid core cables, simplifying installation in tight spaces or where bending is required. However, stranded cables are generally not recommended for long horizontal runs in structured cabling backbones due to higher attenuation compared to solid core. Use appropriate connectors and termination tools for CAT5E UTP cable to ensure signal integrity.
